Hatton Woods Lyrics by Ken Theriot

Human History

2008

Ye comrades and companions
And all ye females dear
To my sad lamentations
I pray you lend an ear;
There was once I lo'ed a bonnie lass
I lo'ed her as my life
And it was my whole intention
To make her my wedded wife
I courted we' the bonnie lass
A Twelve-month-and-a-day
Sometimes among the green grass
Sometimes among the hay ;
I courted her the leelang night
And part of the next day
Till she says, ‘My dearest Sandy lad
It's time you were away.’
Now say my dearest Molly
When shall we set a time
When you and I will get married
And hands together join
And we'll sit in oor wee cottage
And ye'll neither spin nor sew
While my ain gude-hearted hireman lad
Goes whistlin’ at the plough
There's Cadum and there's Cadum Mills
And Luther Mills likewise
There woods and waters many more
Pleasant to mine eyes
But the bonnie woods O' Hatton
They a' grow green in May
It was there about the lassie lived
That stole my heart away
I'll mind about yon bonnie lass
When I am far awa
I'll speak about yon bonnie lass
To them she never saw
I'll tell them that I lo’ed her well
But to me she proved untrue
And she left me doon by Hatton Woods
My follys for to rue
But blessings on yon bonnie lass
Where ever she may be
I wish no evil unto her
Although she slighted me
I only wish that she may say
Some day before she die
‘I wish I had wed yon hireman lad
That sang so sweet to me.'
