THE WEARY SPINNER
(Scottish Folk)
(From 'BLENDING VOICES - the World of Music' 1936)

Sheep and cattle have I none, O!
Barns and houses never a one, O!
Turns my spindle in the sun, O!
'till my lad comes home again.

Far he sails the deep blue ocean
Where he goes I've never a notion
strong and true his my devotion
'till my lad comes home again.

Weary spinning, weary waiting,
Weary hands the rushes plaiting
Toil will never be abating
'till my lad comes home again
