Subject: Lost scottish masterpiece From: little john cameron Date: 27 Jul 00 - 08:13 PM Bonnie Scotland I adore thee, that's the first line.This song is a favorite in Glasgow and is sung by every self appointed singer in the pub.The song itself is not that bad it's the singers that murder it.I have been looking for the words for years but no-one will admit to knowing them.My mother used to sing it and nearly bust my eardrums.Can you help,please.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lost scottish masterpiece From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 28 Jul 00 - 11:55 AM Hi Jon, I found the sheet music to Bonnie Scotland I Adore Thee at the Levy Sheet Music Collection. Here's a link, but I can't remember if I can link to search results or not. If this doesn't work, just go to the Levy Collection (listed in the Mudcat links) and search for it. click here. If this is the right song, you'll have to tell me what fernitickle (from the other Scotland thread) means! Mary |

Subject: ADD: Bonnie Scotland I Adore Thee (T. Gordon) From: MMario Date: 28 Jul 00 - 12:10 PM BONNIE SCOTLAND I ADORE THEE T. Gordon (Cincinnati: J. J. Dobmeyer & Co., 1867) 1. Bonnie Scotland, I adore thee. Now I wander gladly o'er thee. Thy enchantments will restore me, Bonnie, bonnie Scotland. Mid the rays of summer weather, Sweetly blooms thy mountain heather. Love and beauty sport together, Bonnie, bonnie Scotland. CHORUS: Oh, Bonnie Scotland, I adore thee. Now I wander gladly o'er thee. Thy enchantments will restore me, Bonnie, bonnie Scotland. 2. Bonnie Scotland, land of grandeur, Where the sparkling streams meander, Here will I delight to wander, Bonnie, bonnie Scotland. Thou art dearest to me ever; From my bosom banish'd never. Ne'er again we hope to sever, Bonnie, bonnie Scotland. |

Subject: Lyr Add: BONNIE SCOTLAND (Alexander G. Murdoch) From: Jim Dixon Date: 18 Mar 09 - 09:53 AM Here's another version—not the original, but probably one poet's attempt at an improvement over the original. It looks like it would fit the same tune. Maybe it would satisfy those who think the original is too short. From The Laird's Lykewake and Other Poems by Alexander G. Murdoch (London: Simpkin, Marshall, & Co., 1877): BONNIE SCOTLAND! (Alexander G. Murdoch) 1. Bonnie Scotland, I adore thee— Hill and heath, and crag and corrie! Land of Freedom, fame, and glory, Bonnie, bonnie Scotland! Land of mountains—fountain-flashing! Land of rivers seaward dashing! Land of valour, fire, and passion— Bonnie, bonnie Scotland! CHORUS: Bonnie Scotland, I adore thee— Hill and heath, and crag and corrie; Land of freedom, fame, and glory— Bonnie, bonnie Scotland! 2. Bonnie Scotland, land of Wallace! All thy glens and all thy valleys Once were Freedom's trampled chalice— Brave and bonnie Scotland! By the fame that early found thee! By the kingly Bruce that crown'd thee! By the mem'ries cluster'd round thee!— Flourish! bonnie Scotland! 3. Bonnie Scotland, conquer'd never! By thy every rill and river I will sing thy praises ever— Bonnie, bonnie Scotland! Still in peace or battle's clamour, Roll of gun or ring of hammer, Will thy name my heart enamour— Bonnie, bonnie Scotland! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bonnie Scotland I Adore Thee (T. Gordon) From: Jim Dixon Date: 19 Mar 09 - 09:25 AM Jim McLean: The song you're referring to is the one you posted in this thread: Lyr Req: Scotland, Ae Sae Braw, which you said was BONNIE SCOTLAND by McNab, but which others apparently know as SCOTLAND AE SAE BRAW or BONNIE SCOTLAND I ADORE THEE. I see now it must be the one Little John Cameron had in mind as well. He said the song he was seeking also was called A DREAM O' HAME. The Sheetmusic Warehouse is advertising sheet music called BONNIE SCOTLAND I ADORE THEE (DREAM O HAME), words and music by J. Reid McNab (London: Chappell & Co. Ltd., 1954) Nova Scotia Archives & Records Management lists in their catalogue:
Alternative title: Dream O' Hame Author/Composer: McNab, J Reed (words and music) Publisher: Kerrs Music Corp.Ltd Work notes: DOP:010122 TP:00136
H.2479.a.(14.) Favre, Jules, Bonnie Scotland I adore thee ... Song, transcribed for the Piano. (London, [1876]) h.3456.(34.) |
