Horo Johnny

Horo Johnny won't you come home soon
The winter's coming and I'm all alone
A candle's burning in my window love
And the wild geese they are flying home
A young man's love is something to behold
First it burns and then it soon turns cold
He'll whisper in the moonlight and your hand he'll hold
Then he'll vanish with the morning dew
Horo Johnny won't you come home soon
The winter's coming and I'm all alone
A candle's burning in my window love
And the wild geese they are flying home
He'll court you in a meadow in the summer time
When first you love it's the sweetest time
He'll promise you a golden ring and then one day
He'll vanish with the morning with the dew
Horo Johnny won't you come home soon
The winter's coming and I'm all alone
A candle's burning in my window love
And the wild geese they are flying home
You'll be waiting for his footsteps in the lonely room
Listen by the window he'll be coming soon
Your heart it will be breaking by the early dawn
For he'll vanish with the morning dew
Horo Johnny won't you come home soon
The winter's coming and I'm all alone
A candle's burning in my window love
And the wild geese they are flying home
And the wild geese they are flying home

Green grow the laurels and soft is the dew
Sad I was darling on parting from you
Perhaps in the future our love will renew
We'll love one another and promise to be true
I passed my love's window both night time and day
I passed my love's window both night time and day
And the looks that he gave me a thousand would slay
And the looks that he gave me a thousand would slay
I wrote my love a letter and he wrote me mine
I wrote my love a letter and he wrote me mine
Saying keep your love letter and I will keep mine
And you write to your love and I'll write to mine
Green grow the laurels and soft is the dew
Sad I was darling on parting from you
Perhaps in the future our love will renew
We'll love one another and promise to be true

I wish I were on yonder hill
It's there I'll sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
Johnny's gone for a soldier
Shule, shule, shule aroon
Shule, shule, he loves me
And when he returns he will marry me
Johnny has gone for a soldier
Well Johnny my love he went away
He would not heed what I did say
And he won't be back for many's a day
Johnny has gone for a soldier
Shule, shule, shule aroon
Shula, shula, he loves me
And when he returns he will marry me
Johnny has gone for a soldier
Well I'll sell my rack I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
Johnny has gone for a soldier
Shule, shule, shule aroon
Shula, shula, he loves me
And when he returns he will marry me
Johnny has gone for a soldier
I'll dye my skirt I'll dye it red
Around the world I'll bake my bread
Until I find him alive or dead
Johnny has gone for a soldier
Shule, shule, shule aroon
Shula, shula, he loves me
And when he returns he will marry me
Johnny has gone for a soldier

Blackwaterside

One morning fair to take the air
Down by blackwaterside
It was in gazing all around me
An Irish lad I spied
All through the first part of the night
Well we lay in sport and play
Then this young man he arose
And gathered his clothes
Saying fair thee well today
That's not the promise that you made to me
When first you lay in my bed
You made me believe with your lying tongue
That the sun shone in the west
Then go home go home, to your father's hall
Go home and cry your fill
And think of your own misfortune
That you brought with your wanton will
There's not a girl in this whole wide world
As easily led as I
It's fishes they'll fly
And the sees will run dry
It's then you'll marry I

Peggy Gordon

O Peggy Gordon, you are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee
I'm so in love and I can't deny it
My heart lies smothered in my breast
It's not for you to let the world know
A troubled mind can know no rest
I put my back up against an oak tree
I thought it was a trusty tree
But first it bent, and then was broken
And that is how my love served me
O Peggy Gordon, you are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee
Why I am slighted so by thee

The lea rig
03:27
|

When o'er the hill the Eastern star
Tells bughtin' time is near, my jo
And owsen frae the furrowed field
Return sae dowf and weary-o
Down by the burn the birken buds
With dew are hanging clear, my jo
I'll meet thee on the lea rig
My ain kind dearie-o
At midnight hour in mirkest glen
I'd rove and ne'er be eerie-o
If through the glen I gae tae thee
My ain kind dearie-o
Although the night were ne'er sae wild
And I were ne'er sae weary-o
I'll meet thee on the lea rig
My ain kind dearie-o
The hunter loves the morning sun
Tae rouse the mountain deer, my jo
At noon the fisher taks the glen
Adoon the burn to steer, my jo
Give me the hour of gloaming gray
It maks my heart sae cheery-o
Tae meet thee on the lea rig
My ain kind dearie-o
