ANDY M. STEWART - TAE THE WEAVER'S GIN YE GO lyrics

rate me

My heart was ance as blythe and free

As simmer days were lang,

But a bonnie westlin weaver lad

Has gart me change my sang.

Chorus:

Tae the weaver's gin ye go fair maid,

Tae the weaver's gin ye go,

I rede ye richt, gang ne'er at nicht,

Tae the weaver's gin ye go.

My mither sent me tae the toon

Tae warp a plaiden wab;

But the weary weary warpin o't

Has gart me sigh and sab.

Chorus

A bonnie westlin weaver lad

Sat workin at his loom

He took my heart as wi a net

In every knot and thrum.

Chorus

I sat beside my warpin-wheel

And ay I ca'd it roun'

But every shot and every knock

my heart it gae a stoun.

Chorus

The moon was sinkin in the west

Wi' visage pale and wan,

As my bonnie westlin weaver lad

Convoy'd me thro' the glen.

Chorus

But what was said or what was done

Shame fa' me gin I tell

But Oh, I fear the kintra soon

Will ken as weel's mysel.

Chorus
