The Band O' Shearers

The Band o' Shearers - Brocelïande

Noo summer days and heather bells

Come reakin owre yon hieland hills

There's yellow corn in yonder fields

And autumn brings the shearin'

O bonnie lassie will ye gang

And shear wi' me the hale day lang

And love will cheer us as we gang

To join yon band o' shearers

And if the thistle it be strang

And if it jags your milk white hand

It's wi' my hook I'll cut it doon

When we join yon band o' shearers

O bonnie lassie will ye gang

And shear wi' me the hale day lang

And love will cheer us as we gang

To join yon band o' shearers

And if the weather it be hot

I'll cast my waistcoat and my coat

And shear wi' you amang the lot

When we join the band o' shearers

O bonnie lassie will ye gang

And shear wi' me the hale day lang

And love will cheer us as we gang

To join yon band o' shearers

And if the weather it be dry

They'll say there's love 'tween you and I

But we'll slyly pass each other by

When we join the band o' shearers

O bonnie lassie will ye gang

And shear wi' me the hale day lang

And love will cheer us as we gang

To join yon band o' shearers

And when the harvest is all done

We'll hae some rantin' rovin' fun

We'll hae some rantin' rovin' fun

And forget the toils o' shearing

O bonnie lassie will ye gang

And shear wi' me the hale day lang

And love will cheer us as we gang

To join yon band o' shearers

O bonnie lassie will ye gang

And shear wi' me the hale day lang
