Flow Gently Sweet Afton

Flow Gently Sweet Afton - Jo Stafford

Lyrics by：Traditional

Composed by：Traditional

Flow gently sweet Afton among thy green braes

Flow gently I'll sing thee a song in thy praise

My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream

Flow gently sweet Afton disturb not her dream

Thou stock dove whose echo resounds from the glen

Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den

Thou green crested lapwing thy screaming forbear

I charge you disturb not my slumbering fair

How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below

Where wild in the woodlands the primroses blow

There oft as mild evening sweeps over the lea

The sweet scented birk shades my Mary and me
