Hawthorn (1817)

Summary

Hawthorn (1817)

If you prove constant without failing,
⁠I will prove the same to thee.
May the winds and waves direct you,
⁠to the wistful part design'd;
Though you leave me do not grieve me,
⁠let your love be as true as mine.
For all my Father he proves cruel,
⁠you to sea must go once more

Hawthorn (1817)

We went and were married, and Jamie loves me still
And we live beside the hawthorn that blooms in the vale.
That blooms in the valley that blooms in the vale,
We live beside the hawthorn that blooms in the vale.

Hawthorn (1817)

As I came in by Calder fair,
and yont the Lappard Lee, man,
There was braw kissing there;
Come butt and kiss wi’ me, man;
There was Highland folk and Lawland folk,
Unco folk and kend folk,
Folk aboon folk I the yard;
there’s nae folk like our ain folk.
