Subject: Lyr Add: BONNIE STRATHYRE From: John in Brisbane Date: 06 Jan 00 - 12:21 AM I haven't got around to sequencing the tune yet, but here are the lyrics. Score is in Songs of the North Vol 1. Regards, John
Bonnie Strathyre There's meadows in Lanark and mountains in Skye, 2. O' it's up in the morn and awa' to the hill, 3. Then there's mirth in the sheiling and love in my breast,
4. Her lips are like rowans in ripe simmer seen, 5. Set Flora by Colin, and Maggie by me, 6. Though some in the touns o' the Lowlands seek fame,

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Bonnie Strathyre From: Murray on Saltspring Date: 06 Jan 00 - 01:01 AM Note that the words are by Harold Boulton, the tune "adapted" from the old air "Taymouth" by Malcolm Lawson. The tune has an A and a B part, covering what JiB makes 2 stanzas. His 6 is not quite as it is in the book, which has: "Though some to gay touns in the Lawlands will roam, And some will gang sodgerin' far from their home," which I must say doesn't sound as ethnic as John's words [pronunciation-wise, a Scot will naturally say "hame"]. |
