Dog & Gun

歌詞

With my dog and gun through the blooming heather To seek for past-time I chanced to stray There a maid I spied, she was tall and slender Her looks enticed me a while to stay Says I "My fair maid I own I love you Tell me your name and your dwelling also" "Excuse my name sir, you'll find my dwelling By the mountain stream where the moorcocks crow "If you'd consent and go with a rover My former rakings I would leave aside I'm doomed to love you, so don't prove cruel But do agree to become my bride" "If my parents knew that I loved a rover It's great affliction I would undergo In a dungeon dark they would close confine me By the mountain stream where the moorcocks crow" "If you'll call round, and frequent my parents Lest a hasty marriage should produce a foe I'll stay at home for another season By the mountain stream..." "Then it's hand in hand, we shall roam together And I'll escort you to the plains below Where the linnet changes her notes more pleasant By the mountain stream where the moorcocks crow"
