the bonie lass of albany（1/1）

the bonie lass of albany 注释标题 natural daughter of prince charles edward.

tune—“mary's dream.”

my heart is wae, and unco wae,

to think upon the raging sea,

that roars between her gardens green

an' the bonie lass of albany.

this lovely maid's of royal blood

that ruled albion's kingdoms three,

but oh, alas! for her bonie face,

they've wrang'd the lass of albany.

in the rolling tide of spreading clyde

there sits an isle of high degree,

and a town of fame whose princely name

should grace the lass of albany.

but there's a youth, a witless youth,

that fills the place where she should be;

we'll send him o'er to his native shore,

and bring our ain sweet albany.

alas the day, and woe the day,

a false usurper wan the gree,

who nowmands the towers and lands—

the royal right of albany.

we'll daily pray, we'll nightly pray,

on bended knees most fervently,

the time maye, with pipe an' drum

we'll wee hame fair albany.
