Here ya go, Sir Chris:

MILL O' TIFTY (trad. S)


At Mill o' Tifty there lived a man, in the neighborhood of Fyvie
He had a lovely daughter dear whose name was bonny Annie

Lord Fyvie had a trumpeter by the name of Andrew Lammie
And he had the art to win the heart of Mill o' Tifty's Annie

Lord Fyvie he came to the mill where lived bonny Annie
His trumpeter rode him before, even the same Andrew Lammie

Her mother called her to the door, sayin', Come here to me my Annie
Did e'er you see a bonnier man than the trumpeter of Fyvie?

Nothing she said but sighing so, alas for bonny Annie
She dared not own her heart was won by the servant Andrew Lammie

That night as all went to their beds, all sleeping sound but Annie
Love so repressed her tender breast, thinking on Andrew Lammie

The first time my love and I met was in the woods of Fyvie
He called me mistress, I said no, I was Tifty's bonny Annie

Her father came to hear of this and a letter wrote to Fyvie
To say his daughter was bewitched by the trumpeter of Fyvie

Lord Fyvie he came to the mill, sayin', What ails you bonny Annie?
Oh it's all for love that I'm cast down, for the love of Andrew Lammie

Oh Tifty, Tifty, give consent and let your daughter marry
No, it'll be to one of a higher degree than the servant Andrew Lammie

If she'd been born of as rich a kin as she is rich in beauty
I would have wed the lass myself and made her my own lady

Oh Fyvie's lands are far and wide, and they are wondrous bonny
But I would not trade my own true love, not for all the lands of Fyvie

At this her father did her scorn, and likewise did her mother
Her sisters they did her disown, ah but woe's me for her brother

Her brother struck her wondrous sore, with cruel blows and many
He's broke her back on the temple stone, all for loving Andrew Lammie

Oh father, mother, sisters all, why so cruel to your Annie?
My heart was broken first by love, now my brother's broke my body

Oh mother, mother, make my bed, and turn my head to Fyvie
For it's there I'll lie and there I'll die for the love of Andrew Lammie


Cheers,
Michael
