corries - kelvin grove lyrics

kelvin grove
let us haste to kelvin grove, bonnie l-ssie, o
thro’ its mazes let us rove, bonnie l-ssie, o
where the roses in their pride
deck the bonnie dingle side
where the midnight fairies glide, bonnie l-ssie, o.
let us wander by the mill, bonnie l-ssie, o
to the cove beside the rill, bonnie l-ssie, o
where the glens rebound the call
of the roaring waters’ fall
thro’ the mountains rocky hall, bonnie l-ssie, o.

oh, kelvin banks are fair, bonnie l-ssie, o
when the summer we are there, bonnie l-ssie, o
there the maypink’s crimson plume
throws a soft but sweet perfume
round the yellow banks o’ broom, bonnie l-ssie, o.

tho’ i dare not call thee mine, bonnie l-ssie, o
as the smile of fortune’s thine, bonnie l-ssie, o
yet with fortune on my side
i could stay thy father’s pride
and win thee for my bride, bonnie l-ssie, o.

but the frowns of fortune lour, bonnie l-ssie, o
on thy lover at this hour, bonnie l-ssie, o
ere you golden orb of day
wake the warblers on the spray
from this land i must away, bonnie l-ssie, o.

then farewell to kelvin grove, bonnie l-ssie, o
and adieu to all i love, bonnie l-ssie, o
to the river winding clear
to the fragrant scented brier
even to thee of all most dear, bonnie l-ssie, o.

when upon a foreign sh-r-, bonnie l-ssie, o
should i fall midst battle’s roar, bonnie l-ssie, o
then, helen, should’st thou hear
of thy lover on his bier
to his memory shed a tear, bonnie l-ssie, o.
