[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
G
As I roved out one fine summer's morn
Am C D
Amang lofty hills, moorland and mountain
Am G
It was there I spied a weel faurt maid
D C G Am
As I, wi' others, was oot a-hunting
[Verse]
G
No shoes nor stocking's did she wear
Am C D
And neither had she cap nor feather
Am G
But her golden hair hung in ringlets fair
D C G Am
An' the gentle breeze played round her shoulders
[Verse]
G
I said, “Braw lassie, why roam ye alone
Am C D
Why roam ye lane amang the heather?”
Am G
She says, “My faither's awa frae hame
D C G Am
An' I'm herdin' a' his yowes taegither”
[Verse]
G
I said, “Braw lassie, if you'll be mine
Am C D
And care tae lie on a bed o' feather
Am G
In silks an' satins you will shine
D C G Am
And you'll be my queen amang the heather”
[Verse]
G
She said, “Kind sir, your offers good
Am C D
Ah, but I'm afraid 'twas meant for laughter
Am G
For I see you are some rich squire's son
D C G Am
And I am but a poor shepherd's daughter”
[Verse]
G
“Ah, but had ye been a shepherd loon
Am C D
A-herdin' yowes in yonder valley
Am G
Or had ye been a ploughman's son
D C G Am
Wi' a' my hert, I would hae lo'ed ye”
[Verse]
