A Reiver’s Neck-Verse Lyrics by Percy Grainger

0

Some die singing, and some die swinging
And weel mot a' they be:
Some die playing, and some die praying
And I wot sae winna we, my dear
And I wot sae winna we
Some die sailing, and some die wailing
And some die fair and free:
Some die flyting, and some die fighting
But I for a fause love’s fee, my dear
But I for a fause love's fee
Some die laughing, and some die quaffing
And some die high on tree:
Some die spinning, and some die sinning
But faggot and fire for ye, my dеar
Faggot and fire for ye
Some diе weeping, and some die sleeping
And some die under the sea:
Some die ganging, and some die hanging
And a twine of a tow for me, my dear
A twine of a tow for me
