about

Lyric by early 19th-century Scottish poet Robert Tannahill, with a new melody by Dick Hensold © 2016 (BMI).

lyrics

Braes of Balquhidder

Let us go, lassie, go
Tae the braes of Balquhidder
Where the blueberries grow
All along the Highland heather
Where the deer and the rae
Lichtly bounding together
Sport the long summer days
On the braes of Balquhidder

I will twine thee a bower
Near yon clear and silver fountain
And I'll cover it o'er
Wi' the flooers of the mountain
I will range through the wilds
And the deep glens sae dreary
And return with their spoils
To the bower of my dearie

When the rude and wintry wind
Idly rail around our dwellin'
And the roarin’ of the linn
On the nicht breeze is swellin'
So merrily we'll sing
As the storm rages o'er us
'Til the dear shielin' ring
Wi' the licht liltin' chorus

Now the summer’s in it’s prime
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
And the wild mountain thyme
All the moorland's perfumin'
To our dear and native scenes
Let us journey together
Where glad innocence reigns
On the braes o' Balquhidder

about

Dick Hensold Saint Paul, Minnesota

“What I love about Dick and Patsy’s duo is that their music deeply satisfies both the die-hard lover of traditional music, and those with little experience of this kind of music. Virtuosity, wit, and great stage chemistry will do that.” — Kevin Carr
