A song about love and the pain of separation during wartime. Words by Robert Burns, published in the Scots Musical Museum, Vol. 2, 1790; melody attributed to Thomas Blacklock, arr. Landless.

lyrics

"Lang hae we parted been,
lassie my dearie;
Nou we are met again,
lassie lie near me.
Near me, near me,
lassie lie near me.
Lang hast thou lain thy lane;
Lassie, lie near me.

Frae dread Culloden’s field,
bluidie and drearie;
Mournin’ my country’s fate,
lanelie and wearie.
Wearie, wearie,
lanelie and wearie.
Become a sad, banished wight;
Far frae my dearie.

Loud, loud the wind did roar,
stormie and eerie;
Far frae my native shore,
dangers stude near me.
Near me, near me,
dangers stude near me.
Nou I’ve escaped them all;
Lassie lie near me.

All that I have endured,
lassie my dearie;
Here in thine arms is cured,
lassie lie near me.
Near me, near me,
lassie lie near me.
Lang hast thou lain thy lane;
Lassie lie near me."

I saw Haress support Godspeed in Coventry over the weekend and haven't been able to stop myself thinking about their set. It doesn't surprise me that they turn out to be from Bishop's Castle because this is what the welsh border sounds like. Uncanny, unsettling, beautiful. Wonderful discovery, SteveC
