Reres Hill 歌词

Last year at Lady Mary's fair when I was in Dundee I fell in with an old sweetheart and he being on a spree His company I did accept and with him I did go All to my sad misfortune for it proved my overthrow We wandered east, we wandered west, we wandered round the Law He said he'd take me home that night but home I never saw He kept beside me all the while resolved to have his will And by and by we lost our way at the back of Rare's Hill For when we got to Rare's Hill, the laddie said to me We can't go home tonight my dear, it's far to late you'll see But the night is warm and in my pouch, I have another gill So let us lay down here content, at the back of Rare's Hill We had another nip a piece to quieten our alarms When I awoke in the morning we were locked in each other's arms He handed me the bottle, another glass to fill And I drank his heath and store o' wealth, at the back of Rare's Hill And then the lad he said to me, oh, lassie do not mourn For while I have the breath of life, fae you I'll never turn If you will come to yonder town, my wedded wife you'll be We'll be the happiest couple t'was ever in Dundee So it's may I never prosper, and may I never thrive In anything I take in hand as long as I'm alive If e'er I say I rue the day, my laddie had his will Success to Lady May's fair, and the back of Rare's Hill
