queen among the heather - archie fisher lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
as i roved out one fine summer’s morn
among lofty hills, moorland and mountain
it was there i spied a weel faurt maid
as i wi’ others was out a hunting

[verse 2]
no shoes nor stockin’s did she wear
and neither had she cap nor feather
but her golden hair hung in ringlets fair
an’ the gentle breeze blew round her shoulders
[verse 3]
i said, “braw lassie, why roam yer lane
why roam yer lane among the heather?”
she says, “my faither’s awa frae home
an’ i’m a herdin’ all his yowes the gither”

[verse 4]
i said “braw lassiе if you’ll be mine
and care taе lie on a bed o’ feather
in silks an’ satins it’s you will shine
and you’ll be my queen among the heather”

[verse 5]
she said “kind sir your offer’s good
ah, but i’m afraid ’twas meant for laughter
for i see you are a rich squire’s son
and i’m a poor lame shepherd’s daughter”

[verse 6]
“oh but had ye been a shepherd loon
a*herdin’ yowes in yonder valley
or had ye been some plooman’s son
wi’ a’ my heart, i could loed ye”

[verse 7]
now i’ve been to halls an’ i’ve been tae b*lls
and i hae been to london and balquhidder
but the bonniest lass that e’er i have saw
she was herdin’ yowes among the heather
[verse 8]
so we baith sat doon upon the plain
we sat awhile an’ we talked the gither
an’ we laft the yowes for tae stray their lane
’till i loved my queen among the heather
