Highland Lover's Song

Once there were three brothers so handsome, strong and bold They set about upon a quest before the winter cold The eldest son, John-Murdo, said wisely as could be It's time to choose our bonnie wives for Angus, Jack and me Farewell, farewell; we bid you all farewell We'll seek romantic fortune n' threw three coins in the well We'll know her when we see her, that feeling oh so strong We'll hear it playing in our hearts; a Highland Lover's song So as the three departed town they rode across the brae John-Murdo saw the fairest maid that more than caught his eye Her hair was red and flowing; her eyes were warm and brown He said "m'lads I found my love and barely left the town" Farewell, farewell; I bid you all farewell I found romantic fortune there's magic in that well I knew her when I saw her, that feeling oh so strong I heard it playing in my heart; a Highland Lover's song Two brothers now continued; dear Angus and young Jack They travelled for an hour or so until the sky turned black They checked into a tavern and waited out the storm And Angus spied sweet Mary and true love inside was born Farewell, farewell; I bid you all farewell I found romantic fortune there's magic in that well I knew her when I saw her, that feeling oh so strong I heard it playing in my heart; a Highland Lover's song So early in the morning young Jack prepared to leave He hoped within his heart of hearts true love that he'd achieve He ordered tea for breakfast; love didn't have long to wait As she poured his tea, she stole his heart; the fair and lovely Kate Farewell, farewell; I bid you all farewell I found romantic fortune there's magic in that well I knew her when I saw her, that feeling oh so strong I heard it playing in my heart; a Highland Lover's song Farewell, farewell; I bid you all farewell I found romantic fortune there's magic in that well I knew her when I saw her, that feeling oh so strong I heard it playing in my heart; a Highland Lover's song I heard it playing in my heart; a Highland Lover's song
