jean redpath - tam glen lyrics

Loading...

my heart is a-breaking, dear t-ttie
some counsel unto me come len’
to anger them a’ is a pity
but what will i do wi’ tam glen?

i’m thinking, wi’ sic a braw fellow
in poort-th i might mak a fen;
what care i in riches to wallow
if i maunna marry tam glen!

there’s lowrie the laird o’ dumeller-
“gude day to you, brute!” he comes ben:
he brags and he blaws o’ his siller
but when will he dance like tam glen!

my minnie does constantly deave me
and bids me beware o’ young men;
they flatter, she says, to deceive me
but wha can think sae o’ tam glen!

my daddie says, gin i’ll forsake him
he’d gie me gude hunder marks ten;
but, if it’s ordain’d i maun take him
o wha will i get but tam glen!

yestreen at the valentine’s dealing
my heart to my mou’ gied a sten’;
for thrice i drew ane without failing
and thrice it was written “tam glen”!

the last halloween i was waukin
my droukit sark-sleeve, as ye ken
his likeness came up the house staukin
and the very grey breeks o’ tam glen!

come, counsel, dear t-ttie, don’t tarry;
i’ll gie ye my bonie black hen
gif ye will advise me to marry
the lad i lo’e dearly, tam glen
