Cairn O' Mount

As I rode down by yon Brig o Dye and past yon hill o broom,
A maiden sang right merrily just as the sun gaed doon,
Sayin Cairn O Mount is bleak and bear, and cold lies Clach na Benn,
And you can see the snow lyin there along the summers end.
Well I lighted off my dapple grey and walked by her side,
Sayin lassie I hey lost my way upon your moor say wide,
O war me o your face say fare yer een say bonnie blue
And the longest day I brightly share tae kiss your cherry moo
Sayin Cairn O Mount is bleak and bear, and cold lies Clach na Benn,
And you can see the snow lyin there along the summers end.
Oh lassie will ye gan we me and leave your cauld richt glen,
Wee a my kin ye'll bear the gree there's wealth baith but and ben,
We silks and satins busket braw and ribbons far yer hair,
And maids tae answer when ye cah so can ye wish for mair.
Sayin Cairn O Mount is bleak and bear, and cold lies Clach na Benn,
And you can see the snow lyin there along the summers end.
Oh lassie ye man think a while my lands are far and wide,
I've gold in banks and ships at sea so come and be my bride,
My faithers left me lordships two acoach at my command,
I'll mak ye lady o them a if ye'll gee me yer hand
Sayin Cairn O Mount is bleak and bear, and cold lies Clach na Benn,
And you can see the snow lyin there along the summers end.
Oh lassie think yer Donalds poor has niether horse nor coo,
A shepard stragglin ower the moor is no a mach for you,
O Cairn O Mount is bleak and bear and cauld lies Clach na Benn,
And I'd rather meet my Donald here than be fair Scotlands Queen.
Sayin Cairn O Mount is bleak and bear, and cold lies Clach na Benn,
And you can see the snow lyin there along the summers end.
Oh lassie I'm loath tae tell you throw yer love awa,
Yer Donald brally kens himsel last gloamins what I saw.
As I rode by his sheilin door I spied a heiland made,
And yer Donald kissed her ower and ower ond rolled her in his plaid.
Sayin Cairn O Mount is bleak and bear, and cold lies Clach na Benn,
And you can see the snow lyin there along the summers end.
Would you swear a solemn oath what you hae told to me,
I would nae dread my Donalds faith but say base loon ye lee,
Its he's thrown off his laland dress, combed down his yellow hair,
Sayin lassie you've been true to me and now we'll part nae mair.
Sayin Cairn O Mount is bleak and bear, and cold lies Clach na Benn,
And you can see the snow lyin there along the summers end.
Nae mair I'm shepherd o the glen but laird a'yont the Dee,
And since ye hae been true tae me I'll aye prove true tae thee,
Oh Cairn O Mount is bleak and bear, and cold lies Clach na Benn,
And you can see the snow lyin there along the summers end.
