Subject: Lyr Add: UP THE NORAN WATER (Cruickshank/ReId) From: harpgirl Date: 31 Mar 00 - 08:51 AM Up the Noran Water Up the Noran Water In by Inglismaddy Annie's got a bairnie That hasna got a daddy. Some say it's Tammas's An' some say it's Chay's An' naebody expec'it it Wi' Annie's quiet ways. Up the Noran Water The bonnie little mannie Is dandled and cuddled close By Inglismaddy's Annie. What the bairnie's daddy is The lassie never says; But some think it's Tamma's, An' some think it's Chay's Up the Noran Water The county folk are kind; An' what the bairnie's daddy is They dinna muckle mind(don't much mind) But oh! the bairn at Annie's breist The love in Annie's e'e They make me wish wi'a'my micht The lucky lad was me! Helen Cruickshank (1886-1975) Tune: Jim Reid, as sung by Jean Redpath on "A Fine Song for Singing" Can anyone give me a giff or midi for the tune? |
