Queen Amangst The Heather lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Queen Amangst The Heather lyrics As I roved out one fine summer s morn Mang lofty hills, moorlands and mountains Wha should I spy but a fair young maid As I wi others was out a hunting No shoes nor stockings did she wear And neither had she cap nor feather But her golden hair hung in ringlets fair The gentle breeze blew round her shoulders I said, "Braw lass why roam your lane? Why roam your lane amang the heather?" She said, "My father s awa frae hame And I m herding a his yowes thegether" I said, "Braw lass gin ye ll be mine And care tae lie in a bed o feather In silks and satins you shall shine Ye ll be my queen amang the heather" She said, "Kind sir your offer s fine But I m afraid twas meant for laughter For I see you are some rich squire s son And I am but a poor shepherd s daughter" "But had ye been a shepherd loon Herding yowes in yonder valley Or had ye been the plooman s son Wi a my heart I could a loo d thee" I ve been tae balls and I ve been tae halls I ve been tae London and Balquidder But the bonniest lass that e er I saw Was herding yowes amang the heather song lyrics
