about

Traditional Scottish song.

lyrics

Lass of Glencoe

As I went a-walkin’ one evening in June,
All the birds in the bushes were singin’ their tune,
And a lovely wee lassie to me did appear,
The fairest of maidens I ever had seen.

Said I, “Lovely lassie, you have a sweet smile,
And your braw, comely features my heart doth beguile,
And if your affections on me you’ll bestow,
I will bless this fine hour that we met in Glencoe”.

“Young man,” she gave answer, “your suit I disdain,
For I once had a sweetheart – MacDonald’s his name –
He is gone to the wars now, ten years ago,
But he promised one day to return to Glencoe”.

“Perhaps your MacDonald regards not your name,
But has placed his affections in some other one,
He may not remember for all that you know
The fairest young maiden that he left in Glencoe”.

“O MacDonald would ne’er from his promise depart,
For truth, love and honour reside in his heart,
And if he ne’er returns then a maid I will go,
But he’s promised one day to return to Glencoe”.

And proving her constant, I pulled out a glove,
Which at our last parting was a token of love.
She fell into my arms and she wouldn’t let go,
For she knew her MacDonald had returned to Glencoe.

So be ye a hero, or some nobleman,
Who has placed his affections in some other one,
And the red clouds of war in the distance may glow,
But we’ll stay here content at the pass of Glencoe.

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
