I heard the following on Internet Radio a few weeks ago - Frank Hennessy Show (Celtic Heartbeat), BBC Radio 2.

I only knew this as a tune before and was delighted to hear that it was also a song.

It was sung beautifully by Hilary James (Hilary James and Simon Mayor, Laughing with the Moon).


Newcastle

Come you not from Newcastle?
Come you not away?
Oh, have you seen my true love,
Riding on a bonny bay?
   
Why should I not love my love?
Why should not my love love me?
Why should I not speed after him,
Since love to all is free?

The mist's upon the mountain
The valley's washed with dew
Oh we loved and laughed this morning
And tonight we'll laugh anew

Saddle me my pony
My finest gown I'll wear
And I'll take the road to Newcastle
To find my true love there
