lyrics

HEATHER ON THE MOOR
Traditional Music & Lyrics
Additional Lyrics and Arrangement: Heather Alexander

I roved out on a bright May morn
So calm and clear was the weather,
Chanced to roam some miles from home
Among the beautiful bloomin' heather-

AND IT'S HEATHER ON THE MOOR!
OVER THE HEATHER!
OVER THE MOOR AND AMONG THE HEATHER!
Chanced to roam some miles from home
Among the beautiful bloomin' heather-
AND IT'S HEATHER ON THE MOOR!

As I roved along with me huntin' song
And me heart as light as any feather,
I met a pretty maid upon the way
She was trippin' the dew down from the heather-

"Where are you going to, me pretty fair maid?"
"Come hill or dale, now tell me whether"
Right modestly, she answered me,
"To the feedin' of me lambs, together"

"I come from far beyond the hill
To fetch a lamb that strayed from t'ether,"
"But I think I'll stay awhile this day
And take me time among the heather!"

Well we both shook hands and there we sat
For it being the finest day in summer,
And we sat 'til the red setting beams of the sun
Came a-sparkling down upon the heather-

"Well I must be gone before night's dawn
And take the little one with the others,"
But I am loathe to part from you
As loathe are lambs to depart their mothers!"

Up she rose and away she goes
Her place and name I know not either,
But if I was king, I'd make her queen!
The lass I met among the heather-
