The Woods of Dunmore.
[Music by James Jaap.]
This lone heart is thine, lassie, charming and fair,
This fond heart is thine, lassie dear;
Nae warld's gear ha'e I, nae oxen nor kye,
I've naething, dear lassie, but a puir heart to gi'e.
Yet dinna say me na,
But come awa',
And wander, dear lassie, 'mang the woods o' Dunmore,
And wander, dear lassie, 'mang the woods o' Dunmore.
O sweet is thy voice, lassie, charming an' fair,
Enchanting thy smile, lassie dear;
I'll toil aye for thee, for ae blink o' thine e'e
Is pleasure mair sweet than siller to me.
Yet dinna say me na, &c.
O come to my arms, lassie, charming an' fair,
Awa' wild alarms, lassie dear;
This fond heart an' thine like ivy shall twine,
I'll lo'e thee, dear, till the day that I dee.
O, dinna say me na, &c.
