WEARIESWA'
The wind wears ower the Wearieswa'
To the right and the left hand;
The wind wears ower by the Wearieswa'
And under by the sea-sand.
To the right and the left hand;
The wind wears ower by the Wearieswa'
And under by the sea-sand.
Every bolt in Wearieswa'
Wi' siller was it sparred;
Every gate in Wearieswa'
Wi' red gold was it barred.
Wi' siller was it sparred;
Every gate in Wearieswa'
Wi' red gold was it barred.
Every window in Wearieswa'
It was hasped in nickal keen;
Every bower in Wearieswa'
It was set wi' rushes clean.
It was hasped in nickal keen;
Every bower in Wearieswa'
It was set wi' rushes clean.
There wonneth a woman in the Wearieswa',
A strong spell is her upon;
He that shall kiss her mouth for love
Of his life he is fordone.
A strong spell is her upon;
He that shall kiss her mouth for love
Of his life he is fordone.
There is nae man made of a woman
As the grass grows and the corn,
But gin he have kissed that lady's mouth
Of his lips he is forlorn.
As the grass grows and the corn,
But gin he have kissed that lady's mouth
Of his lips he is forlorn.
