The Hummingbird Sessions - Episode 006:
Wild Mountain Thyme (by Francis McPeake)
Oh the Summer time is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
Chorus
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye, go, lassie, go?
I will build my love a bower
Near yon pure crystal fountain
And on it I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain
Will ye go, lassie, go?
Chorus
Chorus
Auld Lang Syne (Traditional, arr. Gothard Sisters)
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne
Chorus
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And here's a hand my trusty friend
And here's a hand o' thine
And we'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
Chorus
Chorus
Nightfall (G. Gothard)
She arrives as night is falling
Along the lantern way
Can you hear the starlings crying?
At the dying of the day
Her eyes are full of moonlight
I can see them from afar
She walks the way at twilight
And her coat is full of stars
Chorus
Nightfall
And her coat is full of stars
Nightfall
And my dreams are full of stars
I will sleep with night surrounding
The moon is shining bright
In my dreams it's all aligning
In the quiet of the night
Her eyes are full of moonlight
I can see them from afar
She walks the way at twilight
And her coat is full of stars
Chorus
She will leave when the sun is rising
Along the morning way
Can you see the sparrows soaring?
At the dawning of the day
Her eyes are full of moonlight
I can see them from afar
She walks the way at twilight
And her coat is full of stars
Chorus
The Parting Glass (Traditional, arr. Gothard Sisters)
Of all the money that e're I've had
I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that e're I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all
Goodnight and joy be with you all
Of all the comrades that e're I've had
They're sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that e're I've had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be with you all
Chorus
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health what e're befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be with you all
