Floret silva undique Sweet on the air till dark of day. The bonniest pair ye iver seen Play chasie on the Meedies green. Floret silva undique The Lily, the rose, the rose I lay. (Martyn) Floret Silva Undique The lily, the rose, the rose I lay. Floret silva undique Sweet on the air till dark of day. The bonniest pair ye iver seen Play chasie on the Meedies green. Floret silva undique The Lily, the rose, the rose I lay. (Martyn) Flora is the queen of lusty may The Lily, the rose, the rose I lay. (Martyn) Tell-tale leaves on the elm-tree bole Reekie’s oot for a sabbath stroll. Sma’ back pipes and they dance a spring. Over the grave all creatures sing. The sun gangs doon under yon hill Jenny and Jake are at it still. Reekie, tell me my true love’s name. Floret silva undique (Martyn) Floret silva undique The lily, the rose, the rose I lay. Floret silva undique The rocker, the ring and the gowans gay Floret silva undique Sweet on the air till dark of day Flora is queen of lusty May, The lily, the rose, the rose I lay. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Margaret_Bennett2/publication/279709115_Hamish_Henderson_and_Martyn_Bennett_Conversations_and_Collaborations/links/55bfc73d08aec0e5f447690a/Hamish-Henderson-and-Martyn-Bennett-Conversations-and-Collaborations.pdf https://soundcloud.com/music-collection-01/albums This song was remixed for Hardland |
