Then oot it's cam' her mither then, It was a moonlicht nicht, She couldnae see her dochter (daughter) For tbe water shine sae bricht, sae bricht The water shine sae bricht. Haud awa' frae me, mither, (hold) Haud awa' frae me! There's no' a man in' Strathdon Shall wedded be with me, with me, Shall wedded be with me. They've taken Eppie Morrie, tben, And a horse they've bound her on, And they hae rid to the minister's hoose As fast as horse could gang, could gang, As fast as horse could gang. Then Willie's ta'en his pistol oot (taken) And set it to the minister's breist, O marry me, marry me, minister, Or else I'll be your priest, your priest Or else I'll be your priest. Haud awa' frae me, Willie, Haud awa' frae me, I daurna avow to marry you Except she's willin' as thee, as thee, Except she's willin' as thee. Haud awa' frae me, good sir, Haud awa' frae me, There's no' a man in a' Strathdon Sball married be by me, by me, Shall married be by me. They've taken Eppie Morrie then, Sin' better couldna' be, And they hae rid o'er Carron side As fast as horse could flee, could flee, As fast as horse could flee. The mass was sung and bells were rung And they'r awa' to bed, And Willie and Eppie Morrie, In ane bed they were laid, were laid In ane bed they were laid. He's ta'en the sark frae aff his back And kicked awa his shoon, And thrawn awa the chaulmer key, And naked he lay doon, lay doon And naked he lay doon. "Haud awa frae me, Willie, Haud awa' frae me, Before I lose my maidenheid I'll try my strength wi' thee, wi' thee. I'll try my strength wi' thee:" He's kissed her on the lily breist And held her shouthers twa But aye she grat and aye she spat And turned tae the wa', the wa', And turned tae the wa'. "Haud awa frae me, Willie, Haud awa' frae me, Before I lose my maidenheid I'll fecht wi' you till day, till day I'll fecht wi' you till day. A' through the nicht they warssled there Until the licht o' day, And Willie grat and Willie swat But he couldna' streitch her spey, her spey He couldna' streitch her spey Then, early in the morning Before the licht o' day In came the maid o' Scallater Wi' a goun and shirt alane, alane Wi' a goun and shirt alane Get up, get up, young woman And drink the wine wi' me, You nicht hae ca'd me "maiden", For I'm sure as hale as thee, as thee, For I'm sure as hale as thee. Weary fa' you, Willie, then, That ye couldna' prove a man, Ye micht hae ta'en her maidenheid, She wuuld hae hired your hand, your hand, She would hae hired your hand. "Haud awa' frae me, lady, Haud awa' frae me! There's no' a man in a' Strathdon Shall wedded be with me, with me, Shall wedded be with me. Then in there came young Breadalbane Wi' a pistol on each side, O, come awa', Eppie Morrie, And I'll mak' you my bride, my bride, And l'll mak' you my bride. Gae get to me a horse, Willie, Get it like a man, And send me back to my mither A maiden as I cam', I cam' O a maiden as I cam'. The sun shines ower the westlin hills (wesiward) By the lamplicht o' the moon, O --- saddle your horse, young John Forsythe, Just whistle and I'll come soon, come soon, Just whistle snd I'll come soon. from Blood & Roses vol.3 MacColl & Seeger Child #223 @courtship @abduction @Scots filename[ EPPMORR play.exe EPPMORR SF ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Eternal Doom, Ethiopia Anthem Text, Evening Song Cornell, Evergreen Bar, Every Man, Every Night When The Sun Goes In, Every Star Shall Sing A Carol, Everybody Does It In Hawaii, Everythings Going My Way, Evilhearted Man, Ewie Wi The Crookit Horn, Factory Girl, Factory Lad, Faded Coat Of Blue, Fair And Free Elections, Fair And Tender Ladies, Fair Annie, Fair At Turloughmore, Fair Eliza, Fair Flower Of Northumberland, Fair Maid Stranded On The Turnpike, Fair Nottamun Town, Fair O Balnaminna, Fair Rosie, Faithful Johnny, Fall Dee Ray, False Bride, False Knight On The Road, False Knight Upon The Road, False Lady, False Lover Won Back Bonnie Love, False Young Man, Family Song, Family Tree, Famine Song Praties They Grow Small, Famous Flower Of Serving Men, Faraway Tom, Fare Thee Well Enniskillen, Fare Ye Well Lovely Nancy, Farewell, Farewell And Adieu, Farewell Dear Love, Farewell Farewell, Farewell He, Farewell To Carlingford, Farewell To Funery, Farewell To Grog, Farewell To Nova Scotia, Farewell To Old Bedford, Farewell To Tarwathie, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
