lirik lagu the bleacher lassie of kelvinhaugh – june tabor
as i was walkin’ one fine summer’s evening
a-walkin’ doon by the broomielaw
it was there i met wi’ a fair young maiden
she’d cherry cheeks and a skin like snaw.
says i, “my l-ssie, is it you that wanders?
all alone by the broomielaw?”
“indeed it’s the truth i’ll tell ye,
i’m a bleacher l-ssie on kelvinhaugh.”
“oh l-ssie, l-ssie do you remember
the ships that sailed by the broomielaw,
and the sailor laddies they all admired
the bleacher l-ssie on kelvinhaugh?”
“oh laddie, laddie i do remember
the ships that sailed by the broomielaw
and the sailor laddies they all got tipsy
with the bleacher l-ssie on kelvinhaugh.”
says i, “my l-ssie will ye gang wi’ me?
i will dress you in fine satins braw.”
“indeed kind sir, i can plainly tell ye
i’ve a lad o’ my ain and he’s far awa.
“it’s sieven lang years that i loo’ed a sailor;
it’s sieven lang years that he gaed awa
and anither sieven i will wait upon him
and bleach my claes here on kelvinhaugh.”
“oh l-ssie, l-ssie, ye are hard-hairted
i wish your face i never saw;
for my heart’s aye bleedin’, baith nicht and mornin’
for the bleacher l-ssie on kelvinhaugh.
“oh l-ssie, l-ssie, ye hae been faithful
and thocht on me when far awa’;
twa hairts will surely be rewarded,
we’ll pairt nae mair here on kelvinhaugh.”
it’s now this couple, it’s they’ve got marr-i-ed
and they keep an ale-house atween them twa
and the sailor laddies, they all come drinkin’
to see that l-ssie on sweet kelvinhaugh.
