Tour Scotland Laddie Lie Near Me Video


Tour Scotland Laddie Lie Near Me video. Sung by Connie Dover.

Long have we parted been,
Laddie, my dearie,
Now we have met again,
Laddie, lie near me.

Long have I sought thee,
Thy face to cheer me,
Dear has it cost me,
Laddie, lie near me.

Chorus
Near me, near me
Laddie, lie near me
Now we have met again
Laddie, lie near me

Here in the firelight,
What joy to see thee
All the long winter night,
Laddie, lie near me

All that I have endured,
Laddie, my dearie,
Here in thy arms is cured,
Laddie, lie near me.

My heart will never stray,
Never deceive thee,
Delight shall drive care away,
Laddie, lie near me.

We're walking in the air
I'm sipping on an Irn-Bru
My chilly snowman mate
Said he would like some too.

I tell him get your own
He looks like he is going to cry
I tell him once again
The Irn-Bru is mine.

Now I'm falling through the air,
I wonder where I'm going to land.
He nicked my Irn-Bru
And let go of my hand.

Tour Scotland Ae Fond Kiss Video


Tour Scotland Ae Fond Kiss video. Written by Robert Burns. Performed by the great Scottish singer, Eddi Reader. Sir Walter Scott thought that Ae Fond Kiss contained the essence of a thousand love tales.

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever;
Ae fareweel, alas, for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,
While the star of hope she leaves him?
Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me;
Dark despair around benights me.

I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy,
Naething could resist my Nancy:
But to see her was to love her;
Love but her, and love for ever.
Had we never lov'd sae kindly,
Had we never lov'd sae blindly,
Never met-or never parted,
We had ne'er been broken-hearted.

Fare-thee-weel, thou first and fairest!
Fare-thee-weel, thou best and dearest!
Thine be ilka joy and treasure,
Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure!
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!
Ae fareweeli alas, for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.

Tour Scotland Queen Of Argyll Video. A wonderful song, from the great Scots band Silly Wizard. Andy M. Stewart is lead vocals, tenor banjo Phil Cunningham: accordion, synthesizers, piano, tin whistle, and vocals Johnny Cunningham.

Gentlemen it is me duty
To inform you of one beauty
Though I'd ask of you a favor
Not to seek her for a while
Though I own she is a creature
Of character and feature
No words can paint the picture
Of the Queen of all Argyll.

Chorus:
And if you could have seen her there
Boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movements
And the morning in her smile
All the roses in the garden
They bow and ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty
Of the Queen of all Argyll.

On the evening that I mentioned
I passed with light intention
Through a part of our dear country
Known for beauty and for style
In the place of noble thinkers
Of scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendor
Shone the Queen of all Argyll.

Chorus:
And if you could have seen her there
Boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movements
And the morning in her smile
All the roses in the garden
They bow and ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty
Of the Queen of all Argyll.

Chorus:
And if you could have seen her there
Boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movements
And the morning in her smile
All the roses in the garden
They bow and ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty
Of the Queen of all Argyll.

So my lads I needs must leave you
My intentions no' to grieve you
Nor indeed would I deceive you
Oh I'll see you in a while
I must find some way to gain her
To court her and attain her
I fear my heart's in danger
From the Queen of all Argyll.

Chorus:
And if you could have seen her there
Boys, if you had just been there
The swan was in her movements
And the morning in her smile
All the roses in the garden
They bow and ask her pardon
For not one could match the beauty
Of the Queen of all Argyll.

Now a deid men seldom walks they very seldom talk
It's no very often you see them runnin aroon
But I am a refugee frae a graveyard in Dundee
And I've come tae haunt Some hooses in Glesca toon

Noo the reason I arose was tae get masel some clothes
Fur it really gets hell o' a cold below the grun (ground)
But then I whispered tae ma sel' I think I might as well
Hang aroon fur a while and have some fun

A man put out his light on a cold and wintery night
I showed him one o' ma ees (eyes) and a slapped his heid
He said Oh and I said Boo He said who the hell are you
A said don't be feared am only a man that's deid

Noo the fella knelt and prayed and this is what he said
Why in the name o' God have you picked on me
So I pulled away his rug and slapped him wan on the lug
The reason fur that I'll very soon let you see

When he brought the polis in I battered him wan on the chin
The polis turned aroon and he blamed ma fren (friend)
He marched him tae the jail, he'll be in there quite a while
But I'll see naboby steals his single end (a wee house)

The polis thought him daft and a lot o' people laughed
When the fella said a ghost wis in his hoose
But whit the fella said wis true and a might be visiting you
Fur don't forget that I'm still on the lose.

Tour Scotland Culloden's Harvest Video


Tour Scotland Culloden's Harvest video, sung by Deanta.

Chorus
Cold winds on the moors blow.
Warm the enemy's fires glow.
Like the harvest of Culloden,
Pain and fear and death grow.

'Twas love of our prince drove us all to Drumossie,
But in scarcely the time that it takes me to tell
The flower of our country lay scorched by an army
As ruthless and red as the embers of hell.

Chorus

Red Campbell the Fox did the work of the English.
McDonald in anger did no work at all.
With musket and cannon against honour and courage.
The invading men stood while our clansmen did fall.

Chorus

Nine mothers and children were left to their weeping,
With only the memory of father and son.
Turned out of their homes to make shelter for strangers,
The blackest of hours on this land has begun.

Chorus

What happened to the fisherman's dream
When they rowed their last boat down
What happened to the dream of the fisherman
When they cast their last net round
What happened to the fisherman's love
When it drove him over the hill
What happened to the fisherman's dream
Is the fisherman dreaming still

Tell me did it fade away
Did it fade on down to the ocean
Did it fade away
Did it fade on down to the sea
To the ocean and the sea

What happened to the fisherman's love
Was it nowhere to be found
What happened to the love of the fisherman
When it drove him to the high high ground
What happened to the love of the fisherman
When they drove that last nail down
What happened to the fisherman's love
When they laid him in the ground

Tell me did it fade away
Did it fade on down to the ocean
Did it fade away
Did it fade on down to the sea
To the ocean and the sea

Tell me did it fade away
Did it fade on down to the ocean
Did it fade away
Did it fade on down to the sea
To the ocean and the sea

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,

Welcome tae yer gory bed,
Or tæ Victorie!

Now's the day, and now's the hour:
See the front o' battle lour,
See approach proud Edward's power,
Chains and Slaverie!

Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha will fill a coward's grave?
Wha sa base as be a slave?
Let him turn and flee!

Wha, for Scotland's king and law,
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Freeman stand, or Freeman fa',
Let him on wi' me!

By Oppression's woes and pains!
By your sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!
Let us do or dee!

English lyrics.

Scots, who have with Wallace bled,
Scots, whom Bruce has often led,
Welcome to your gory bed.
Or to victory!

Now is the day, and now is the hour:
See the front of battle lower (threaten),
See approach proud Edward's power.
Chains and slavery!

Who will be a traitor knave?
Who will fill a coward's grave?
Who's so base as be a slave?
Let him turn, and flee!

Who for Scotland's King and Law.
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Freeman stand or freeman fall,
Let him follow me!

By oppression's woes and pains,
By your sons in servile chains,
We will drain our dearest veins.
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty is in every blow!
Let us do or die!'
