lirik lagu june tabor - the rigs of rye
’twas in the month of sweet july,
before the sun had pierced the sky;
down between two rigs of rye
i heard two lovers talking.
said he, “l-ssie, i must away,
along with you i cannot stay,
but i’ve a word or two to say
if you’ve the time to listen.”
“of your father he takes great care,
your mother combs your yellow hair;
but your sisters say you’ll get no share
if you follow me, a stranger.”
“my father may fret and my mother may frown,
my sisters too i do disown;
if they were all dead and below the ground
i would follow you, a stranger.”
“oh l-ssie, l-ssie, your portion’s small,
perhaps it may be none at all.
you’re not a match for me at all
so go and wed with some other.”
the l-ssie’s courage began to fail,
her rosy cheeks grew wan and pale;
and the tears come trickling down like hail,
or a heavy shower in the summer.
this lad he being of courage fine,
he’s dried her tears and he’s kissed her eyes,
saying, “weep no more l-ss, you shall be mine,
i said it all to try you.”
this couple they are married now,
and they have bairnies one and two;
and they live in brechin the winter through,
aye, and in montrose in summer.
