Testo Down The Moor - Peter Bellamy

Testo della canzone Down The Moor (Peter Bellamy), tratta dall'album Mr Bellamy, Mr Kipling & The Tradition

One morn in May when fields were gay
Serene and pleasant was the weather
I spied a lass, and a very bonny lass
She was swooping the dew from among the heather
Down the moor
In among the heather, o'er the moor, through the heather
I spied a lass, and a very bonny lass
She was swooping the dew from among the heather
Down the moor
Barefoot was she, but comely dressed
And on her head neither hat nor feather
With her skirts tucked neatly round her waist
As she tripped through the blooming heather
Down the moor
In among the heather, o'er the moor, through the heather
With her skirts tucked neatly round her waist
As she tripped through the blooming heather
Down the moor
So I stepped up to this fair young maid
"Come tell me love, why come you hither?"
She answered me "Down by the bonny burn side
I am herding all my ewes together"
Down the moor
In among the heather, o'er the moor, through the heather
She answered me "Down by the bonny burn side
I am herding all my ewes together"
Down the moor
So I courted her that live long day
My heart as light as any feather
Until the beams of the red setting sun
Come slanting down in among the heather
Down the moor
In among the heather, o'er the moor, through the heather
Until the beams of the red setting sun
Come slanting down in among the heather
Down the moor
She said "Young man, I must away
For my ewes are straying from each other
But I'm as loath to part with you
As the bonny wee lambs are to part their mother"
Down the moor
In among the heather, o'er the moor, through the heather
"But I'm as loath to part with you
As the bonny wee lambs are to part their mother"
Down the moor
Then up she got and away she run
Her name and place I did not gather
But if I was the king, I'd make her me queen
That bonny little lass I met among the heather
Down the moor
In among the heather, o'er the moor, through the heather
If I was the king, I'd make her me queen
That bonny little lass I met among the heather
Down the moor
