Текст песни Banks Of Green Willow

Thair wis a rich mairchant At lived in Strath Denny An he had bit ae dochter An her name it wis Annie An thair wis a rich mairchant An he lived in Dunbarton An he has got this bonnie lassie Big, big wi bairnie "O ye'll tak ship wi me An ye'll be ma hinnie Whit mair cud a wumman dae Than A will dae fur ye?" Bit thae hadnae been sailin A week bit scarcely ony Afore she needit weemin Bit thair werenae ony "O captain, tak gowd An captain, tak money An steer fur dry laun Fur the sake o ma bairnie" "Hou can A tak gowd An hou can A tak money Whan thair's fey fowk on ma ship An she winnae steer fur me?" "Ye'll tak me by the fingers An lift me up houlie An cast me owerboard An hae nae pity on me" He's taen her by the fingers An lifted her up houlie An thrown her owerboard Tho she wis his ain dearie See hou she swims An see hou she swaggers She'll never leave aff swimmin Till she comes tae some harbour His luve she wis thair Whan thae come tae the dry laun An her lyin deid On the cauld sea strand Her bairnie wis born An lyin at her feet Fur the loss o his bonnie luve Sair, sair did he greet He's caused mak a kist O the gowden sae yellow An thae aa three lie sleepin On the banks o green willow
