Down the Moor

Down the Moor - Peter Bellamy One morn in May when fields were gay Serene and pleasant was the weather I spied a lass and a very bonny lass She was swooping the dew from among the heather Down the moor In among the heather Over the moor  through the heather I spied a lass and a very bonny lass She was swooping the dew from among the heather Down the moor Barefoot was she but comely dressed And on her head neither hat nor feather With a skirts-top neatly round her waist As she tripped through the blooming heather Down the moor In among the heather Over the moor  through the heather With a skirts-top neatly round her waist As she tripped through the blooming heather Down the moor I stepped up to this fair young maid Come tell me  love  why come you hither She answered me Down by the bonny burn side I am herding all my ewes together Down the moor In among the heather Over the moor  through the heather She answered me Down by the bonny burn side I am herding all my ewes together Down the moor I courted her that livelong day My heart as light as any feather Until the beams of the red-setting sun Come slanting down in among the heather Down the moor In among the heather Over the moor  through the heather Until the beams of the red-setting sun Come slanting down in among the heather Down the moor She said Young man  I must away For my ewes are straying from each other Though I'm as loath to part with you As the bonnie wee lambs are to part their mother Down the moor In among the heather Over the moor  through the heather Though I'm as loath to part with you As the bonnie wee lambs are to part their mother Down the moor Then up she got and away she run Her name and place I did not gather But if I was a king I would make her my queen That bonnie little lass I met in among the heather Down the moor In among the heather Over the moor Through the heather If I was a king I would make her my queen That bonnie little lass I met in among the heather Down the moor
