archie fisher & garnet rogers - the mosstrooper's lament lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh, all the gallant borders
ilk water, moss and fell
oh, i will kent nooks and crooks
forever, oh farewell

[chorus]
for we’ll gang no more a roving
a roving through the night
we’ll gang nay more a roving
let the moon shine e’er so bright

[verse 2]
for when the harvest moon shone clear
what blithe times did we see
on wanton nags, we splent on spauld
we rade so merrily

[chorus]
for we’ll gang no more a roving
a roving through the night
we’ll gang nay more a roving
let the moon shine e’er so bright

[verse 3]
for thе king is out the border ‘gain
in london for to dwell;
and friеnds we maun wi’ england be
since he rides there himsel’
[chorus]
for we’ll gang no more a roving
a roving through the night
we’ll gang nay more a roving
let the moon shine e’er so bright

[verse 4]
must i be tethered to the land
on yarrows banks abide
that gents as far as trent and humber
are scour’d the southbourne countryside

[chorus]
for we’ll gang no more a roving
a roving through the night
we’ll gang nay more a roving
let the moon shine e’er so bright

[verse 5]
and must i follow now
a droning plough horse tail
or should i break my bonnie brown
to harness like a snail

[chorus]
for we’ll gang no more a roving
a roving through the night
we’ll gang nay more a roving
let the moon shine e’er so bright
[verse 6]
for when all the gallant borders
hae lost their riders g+y
the scots will miss their hardy lads
and cry, “alas the day”

[chorus]
for we’ll gang no more a roving
a roving through the night
we’ll gang nay more a roving
let the moon shine e’er so bright

[chorus]
we’ll gang no more a roving
a roving through the night
we’ll gang nay more a roving
let the moon shine e’er so bright
