cara (folk artist) - lord gregory lyrics
“o wha will lace my shoes sae sma’, and wha will glove my hand?
and wha will lace my middle sae jimp wi’ my new+made linen band?
and wha will kaim my yellow hair wi’ my new+made siller kaim?
and wha will faither my young son till lord gregory come hame?
“sae i will ger a bonnie bonnie boat and i will sail the sea
and i will gang to lord gregory since he cannae come hame to me
o row, o row, ye mariners and bring me to dry land
for yonder i see my love’s castle close by the sault sea strand
“o open the door, lord gregory, o open and let me in
for the wind blows through my yellow hair and i’m shivering tae the chin.”
“awa, awa ye wild woman, some ill death may ye dee
ah ye’re either a witch or a wild warlock or a mermaid o the sea.”
“i’m neither a witch nor a wild warlock nor a mermaid o the sea
but i am fair annie of roch royal, o open the door to me.”
“awa, awa ye wild woman, for here ye sanna win in
gae droon ye in the saut, saut sea or hang on the gallow’s pin!”
when the c+ck did craw and the day did daw and the sun began to peep
then up did rise lord gregory and sair, sair did he weep
“i dreamed a dream, my mother dear, the thocht o it gars me greet
i dreamed fair annie o roch royal lay cauld deid at my feet.”
“git it be annie o roch royal that gars ye mak’ a this din
she stood a’ nicht at our ha’ door but i didna let her in.”
“awa, awa ye cruel mother, some ill death may ye dee
that ye wadna let poor annie in or else hae wauken me.”
sae he’s gane doon tae yon sea shore as fast as he could fare
and he saw fair annie in her boat and the wind it tossed her sair
the wind blew loud, the sea grew rough, and the boat was dashed on shore
fair annie she floated on the wave but her young son rose no more.”
lord gregory tore his yellow hair and he made his heavy moan
fair annie lay cauld deid at his feet and his bonnie young son was gone
“o wae betide, cruel mother, some ill death may ye dee
