Old Scottish Tune-Jock O Hazeldean

Hope you like this one played on Mandolin and Piano!
'Why weep ye by the tide, ladie,
Why weep ye by the tide?
I'll wed ye to my youngest son,
And ye shall be his bride:
And ye shall be his bride, ladie
Sae comely to be seen' -
But aye she loot the tears down la'
For Jock o' Hazeldean.
'A chain of gold ye shall not lack,
Nor braid to bind you hair,
Nor mettled hound, nor managed hawk,
Nor palfrey fresh and fair.
And you, the fairest of them a'
Shall ride our forest queen.'
But aye she loot the tears down la'
For Jock o' Hazeldean.
'Now let this wilfu' grief be done,
And dry that cheek so pale;
Young Frank is chief of Errington,
And lord of Langley-dale;
His step is first in peaceful ha',
His sword is battle keen' -
But aye she loot the tears down fa'
Foe Jock of Hazeldean.
The kirk was deck'd at morning tide,
The tapers glimmer'd fair.
The priest and bridegroom wait the bride,
And dame and knight are there.
They sought her baith by bower and ha'
The lady was not seen.
She's o'er the border and awa',
Wi' Jock o' Hazeldean!

Good to see you posting again, lads. I have been missing your contributions recently. Fine combination of mandolin and piano and one of my favourite songs.

Nice to see you playing such a lovely song. It sounds really nice with the mandolin tremolo and the piano together. Hope you are well. All is fine here, but waiting for some sign of spring.

Hi Ginny! Thanks for the kind words, glad you liked it! We had a go at two songs, will post the other one later, it's a Gaelic tune called 'Fear a Bhata!' No sign of spring here yet either, but it can't be long. Glad all is well with you. Best Wishes. J&D.

What a beautiful rendition of this wonderful tune! A new one for me and on looking around I see that there are lyrics by Sir Walter Scott to go with it. Really enjoyed it. Well done as always. Ed.
