John McDermott - Flow Gently Sweet Afton lyrics

rate me

Flow Gently Sweet Afton : To Barbara McPherson

Flow gently sweet Afton among the green braes

Flow gently I'll sing thee a song of thy praise

My Marys' asleep by the murmuring stream

Flow gently sweet Afton disturb not her dream

Thou stock dove whose echo resounds thro' the glen

Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den

Thou greencrested lapwing thy screaming forbear

I charge you disturb not my slumbering fair

Thy crystal stream Aftom how lovely it glides

And winds by the cot where my Mary resides

How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave

As gathering sweet flowerets she stems thy clear wave

Flow gently sweet Afton among thy green braes

Flow gently sweet river the theme of my lays

My Mary's asleep by the murmuring stream

Flow gently sweet Afton disturb not her dream
