[ti:Peggy Bawn] [ar:Peter Bellamy] [al:Mr Bellamy, Mr Kipling & The Tradition] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Peggy Bawn - Peter Bellamy [00:07.82]As I wandered over Highland hills [00:10.89]To a farmer's house I came [00:14.00] [00:14.53]The night being dark and something wet [00:17.93]I ventured in the same [00:20.63] [00:21.26]Where I was kindly treated [00:23.79]And a pretty girl I spied [00:27.49]Who asked me if I had a wife [00:30.51] [00:31.02]But marriage I denied [00:34.31] [00:41.13]So I courted her all that long [00:43.83]Even till near the dawn next day [00:47.30] [00:47.97]When frankly unto me she said [00:51.80]Along with you I'll go [00:54.75]For Ireland is a fine country [00:58.59]And you to the Scots are kin [01:01.08]Oh I will go along with you [01:04.84]My fortune to begin [01:07.65] [01:08.49]And daybreak being nearly come [01:13.05]I into the house was taken [01:16.33] [01:16.92]Where the good man kindly asked me [01:20.14]If I would wed his daughter Jane [01:23.51] [01:24.09]One hundred pound I'll give to you [01:27.83]Likewise a piece of land [01:30.25] [01:30.83]But scarcely had he said them words [01:34.06]When I thought of Peggy Bawn [01:37.85] [01:38.64]Well your offer Sir it is very good [01:41.57]And I thank you too said I [01:45.69]But I cannot be your son-in-law [01:49.64]I'll tell you the reason why [01:53.04] [01:53.55]My business calls me in haste [01:57.16]I am King's messenger bound [02:00.13]Oh I cannot be your son-in-law [02:03.30]Till I've seen the Irish ground [02:06.99] [02:15.23]And Peggy Bawn she is my jewel [02:18.19]My heart lies in her breast [02:21.34] [02:21.94]Although we at a distance are [02:25.05]Still I do love her the best [02:28.22] [02:28.73]Although we at a distance are [02:31.92]And seas between us roar [02:34.99]Yet I'll be constant to Peggy Bawn [02:38.81]So adieu forever more
