burns robert – where helen lies lyrics
where helen lies
(robert burns)
o that i were where helen lies,
night and day on me she cries;
o that i were where helen lies
in fair kirkconnel lee.
o helen fair beyond compare,
a ringlet of thy flowing hair,
i’ll wear it still for ever mair
until the day i die.
curs’d be the hand that shot the shot.
and curs’d the gun that gave the crack!
into my arms bird helen lap,
and died for sake o me!
o think na ye but my heart was sair;
my love fell down and spake nae mair;
there did she swoon wi meikle care
on fair kirkconnel lee.
i lighted down, my sword did draw,
i cutted him in pieces sma’;
i cutted him in pieces sma’
on fair kirkconnel lee.
o helen chaste, thou wert modest,
if i were with thee i were blest
where thou lies low and takes thy rest
on fair kirkconnel lee.
i wish my grave was growing green,
a winding sheet put o’er my e’en,
and i in helen’s arms lying
in fair kirkconnel lee!
i wish i were where helen lies!
night and day on me she cries:
o that i were where helen lies
on fair kirkconnel lee.
tune: where helen lies (203)
