Pure beauty. Scots clarity and rigour. Honour killing, as if this is new.

TWO BROTHERS There were twa brothers at the school And when they’d won awa’ It’s will ye play at the stane chucking Or will ye play at ball Or will ye gae up yon bonnie green hill And there we’ll wrestle a fa’ Oh, I winnae play at the stane chucking Nor will I play at the ba’ But I will gae up yon bonnie green hill And there we’ll wrestle a fa’ They wrestled up, they wrestled down Till John fell tae the ground And a dirk fell oot o’ William’s pouch Gi’ed John a deadly wound “Oh, lift me, lift me on yer back Tak’ me tae yon well sea fair And wash the blood fae off my wound That it may bleed nae mair” He’s lifted him on tae his back Ta’en him tae yon well sae fair And he’s washed the blood fae off his wound But aye it bled the mair “It’s ye’ll tak’ off yer Holland sark Rive it fae gare tae gare An’ stap it on my bloody wound That it may bleed nae mair” So he’s ta’en off his Holland sark Rived it fae gare tae gare An’ he’s staped it in the bloody wound But it bled mair and mair “Oh, lift me, lift me on yer back Tak’ me tae Kirklan’ fair An’ dig my grave baith wide and deep And lay my body there Ye’ll lay my arrows at my head My gude bow at my feet My sword and buckler by my side As I was wont tae sleep”

One of the most beautiful, yet saddest, of all British folk songs... I only hope the people of Dundee are a little less barbaric and brutal these days... 😕

This woman has perhaps the clearest, most accurate and most beautiful voices in British folk music... with the possible exception of Sandy Denny... (but that may just be a personal opinion... I've ALWAYS loved Sandy Denny!) Even so, Jean would certainly give even Sandy Denny a run for her money! ☺

I don't usually like her singing that much, but this is gorgeous.

I used to use this specific track to test any new stereo setup for noise, distortions, pitch variations and dynamics. With that in mind it's just bizarre that the uploader here would somehow avoid noticing that (a) he made us listen to the stylus going down on the record, (b) his left channel completely crapped out, multiple times, and that (c) he cuts off the song before it's even done.

Jean Redpath: The best of the best!

I'm Scottish myself but honestly whoever sings they stupid songs sounds pished or high on drugs. I don't know who is more in pain them singing or innocent members of the public like myself after listening to that load of pish.

She used to appear a lot on Prairie Home Companion. What a distinctively beautiful crystal clear voice!

Such a beautiful voice. Jean's singing was in a league of it's own. Sadly missed. But never forgotten.

Miss you, Jean..........

A FANTASTIC voice. Jean Redpath had an incredibly powerful voice and all her songs were in a league of their own.

Nice voice and song..didn't do much in the way of moving me to tears or tingling my spine, though.

Wonderful

God, that woman could sing. It was hearing her at the Crown in Edinburgh as a kid in the '60s that inspired a life-long love of Scots song - I owe her a lot... This song contains one of the greatest verses in the tradition: “It's love comes in at my bedside And love lies doon aside me Love so oppresses my tender breast And love will waste my body"

Wonderful singer R I P .

Jean singing this just tingles my spine and mists my eyes. Every time.

Belbury Poly - "The Geography" brought me here

One of my favorites from the Child Ballad collections (5 volumes). Ewan MacColl also sings it and beautifully. Jean was a true wonder as a singer of Scots music all her life. RIP

Beautiful, Jean. This is sometimes called The Mill O Tiftie's Annie. Another great Scots singer, Ray Fisher sang this beautifully. I see that it is on KZbin, too

Jean Redpath was a fabulous singer and sang everything from the big ballads like this one to Robert Burns. I learned this version from John Longstaff and sang it for years, but what a treat to hear Jean Redpath sing it. Thanks for posting.

From Google: At Fyvie's gate there grows a flower It grows both broad and bonnie A daisy in the midst of it Its name is Andrew Lammie O gin that flower were my breast For the love I bear the laddie So blithe and merry I would be And kiss my Andrew Lammie Love I must go to Edinburgh Love I must go and leave thee She sighed full sore and said no more But o gin I were with thee I'll buy my love a wedding gown My love I'll buy it bonnie But I'll be gone ere you come back How I love thee Andrew Lammie Love pines away, love dwines away And love decayed my body And love crept in at my bedfoot And he took possesion of me Her brother beat her wondrous sore Til the strokes they were not canny And he broke her back on yon hall door For loving Andrewa Lammie O mother go and make my bed And… Source: Musixmatch

Always loved the Boys of the Lough version sung by Dick Gaughan, but this is even better. Such a sad song.

In case anyone thinks that sexual harassment is new. This clever lass answers with flowers of her own. Lots of songs like this in the Child Collections. Check out Ewan MacCall's version.

Anyone able to provide the lyrics for this? Couldn't find the complete lyrics online

Goosebumps. Amazing song, and voice

whoever came here from double rainbow guy, you're a legend as well

This song has haunted me for 40 years

はいそうです。詳しい情報は後ほどあらためてご連絡します。

中洲のCandyに出演されていた千鶴さんでしょうか？若い頃に歌声を聴いて魅了されました。今も福岡で活動されているなら、ぜひライブに行きたいのですが、情報はありませんか？

Beautiful

Oh that voice x

Well I think it is shite you just need to listen to the lyrics and that proves it .

Very nicely done. I've always enjoyed Jean Redpath's singing.

Such magnificent singing.

One of my few favorite singers in the world. She was a special talent, and I miss her.

She's an angel singing authentic Scot's music. No one can do this song justice.

Good for her!

man folks in the middle ages loved the a minor chord.i swear every song i listen to is built around that chord.its why they all have a very similar sound from' miri it is while sumer ilast' to this song they all are built around a minor.

Hauntingly Beautiful!

Try the Mary Garden version

this is awesome to me

Great version of this ballad.
