As sung by Vin Garbutt CHORUS: Hark as the bee hunts for treasure That's hid in the mountainy bloom Me shuttle goes buzzing with pleasure To gather me gold from me loom. V1: 'Tis I can weave woolen and linen The finest folk wear on their backs So girl come give over your spinnin' And wind up me wool and me flax. CHORUS V2: Five years at the woolen and linen I've laboured from morning to night With a heart that beats heavy beginnin' Is beating forever more light. CHORUS V3: With guineas full up in me stockin' sole Safe in the tick of me bed It's soon that I'll rest without rocking At Shrovetide with Willie I'll wed. CHORUS |
