OH MY LADYE
-Ioseph of Locksley
copyright 1989 W. J. Bethancourt III
(Tune: Lizzie Lindsay (Child #226)
Will y'gang t'the Hielands, Oh, my Lady?
Will y'gang t'the Hielands wi' me?
Will y'gang t'the Hielands, oh my Lady?
M'bride and m'bonnie t'be?
I'll no gang to t'Hielands wi you, sir
I dinna ken how that may be
For I ken nae the Land that y'live in
Nor dowry y'may give t'me
Oh, m'lady it be y'ken little
If y'dinna ken me
For my name is the great Laird of Locksley
A Chieftain of high degree
For dowry, I give you the whole of
the earth, and the sea and the sky
and the Road along with me t'travel
and the love of a Bard such as I
She has kilted her coats of green satin
She has kilted them up t'her knee
and she's off w'the great Laird of Locksley
His bride and his darlin' tae be!
Will y'gang t'the Hielands, oh my Lady?
Will y'gang t'the Hielands wi me?
Will y'gang t'the Hielands, oh my Lady?
My bride and my bonnie t'be?
I learned this as Will y'gang t'the Hielands *pronounced He Lands* Lizzie Lindsey
