Thread Name: Looking for Scottish wedding song
Subject: Lyr Add: MY NUT-BROWN MAIDEN
Mo Nighean Donn, Bhoidheach
My nut-brown maiden

Ho ro, my nut brown maiden
Hi ri my nut brown maiden
Ho ro ro, maiden
Who else would I marry but thee

Ho ro, my nut brown maiden
Hi ri my nut brown maiden
Ho ro ro, maiden
For she's the love for me

Her eyes so mildly beaming
Her look so frank and freeing
In working and in dreaming
Is always ever with me

O, love, mild eyed, loved one
by land or on the sea
though time and tide may vary
My heart beats true for thee

And when with blossoms laden
right summer comes again
I'll wed my nut brown maiden
Down in the bonnie glen
