Tae The Weaver s Gin Ye Go lyrics
My heart was ance as blythe and free
As simmer days were lang,
But a bonnie westlin weaver lad
Has gart me change my sang.

Chorus:
Tae the weaver s gin ye go fair maid,
Tae the weaver s gin ye go,
I rede ye richt, gang ne er at nicht,
Tae the weaver s gin ye go.

My mither sent me tae the toon
Tae warp a plaiden wab;
But the weary weary warpin o t
Has gart me sigh and sab.

Chorus

A bonnie westlin weaver lad
Sat workin at his loom
He took my heart as wi a net
In every knot and thrum.

Chorus

I sat beside my warpin-wheel
And ay I ca d it roun
But every shot and every knock
my heart it gae a stoun.

Chorus

The moon was sinkin in the west
Wi visage pale and wan,
As my bonnie westlin weaver lad
Convoy d me thro the glen.

Chorus

But what was said or what was done
Shame fa me gin I tell
But Oh, I fear the kintra soon
Will ken as weel s mysel.

Chorus
