about

Peter Kennedy collected this in Ireland, but speculates that it may well be of Scottish origin. We loved the unexpected tune and how it sat with the Dobro.

lyrics

With my dog and gun through the blooming heather
To seek pastime I chanced to stray
When a maid I spied, she was tall and slender
Her looks enticed me a while to stay

I said, fair maid, I own I love you
Tell to 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'll consent, and go with a rover
My former raking I will leave aside
I'm doomed to love you so don't prove cruel
But do consent, and 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

It's crimson coloured all her features
She stood awhile but was not dismayed
Then here's my hand, love I'll pledge my honour
And it's I'll prove true, til I meet my grave

It's hand in hand we will roam together
And I'll escort you to the plains below
Where the linnet changes his notes more pleasant
By the mountain stream where the moorcocks crow
