FLORA'S LAMENT FOR HER CHARLIE It's yon bonny banks and yon bonny braes Where the sun shines bright and bonny Where I and my true love went out for to gaze On the bonny bonny banks of Benlomond cho: It's you'll take the high road and I'll take the low road. And I'll be in Scotland before you. And I and my true love shall never meet again On the bonny banks of Benlomond. It's not for the hardships that I must endure Nor the leaving of Benlomond But it's for the leaving of my comrades all And the bonny lad that I love so dearly With his bonny lac'd shoes and his buckles so clear And his plaid o'er his shoulder hung so rarely One glance of his eye it would banish dull care So handsome the looks of my Charlie But as long as I live and as long as I do breathe I will sing to his memory fairly My true love was taken by the arrows of death And now Flora does lament for her Charlie Broadside version (which might be from Sanderson) @Scottish filename[ LOCHLOM5 TUNE FILE: LOCHLMND CLICK TO PLAY JI Feb07 ![]() 8note Sheet> |
