Jean Redpath - Gallowa' Hills songtekst

Over deze songtekst:

The rounded Galloway hills are not as dramatic as the Highlands, but to a native of the area, they are just as memorable. The original song "The Braes of Galloway" was written by William Nicolson, a wandering minstrel who roamed Galloway from 1793 to 1849. The song has changed over the years and this version is by a legendary ballad singer, Jeannie Robertson.

Oh, I'll tak' my plaidie contented tae be
A wee bittie kilted aboon my knee
And I'll gie my pipes another blaw
And I'll gan oot ower the hills tae Gallowa'

Oh, the Gallowa' hills are covered wi' broom
Wi' heather bells in bonnie bloom
Wi' heather bells and rivers a'
An I'll gan oot ower the hills tae Gallowa'

For I say, bonnie lass, it's will ye come wi' me
Tae share yer lot in a strange country
For tae share yer lot when doon fa's a'
And I'll gan oot ower the hills tae Gallowa'

Oh, the Gallowa' hills are covered wi' broom
Wi' heather bells in bonnie bloom
Wi' heather bells and rivers a'
An I'll gan oot ower the hills tae Gallowa'

For I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my grannie's spinning wheel
I will sell them a' when doon fa's a'
An I'll gan oot ower the hills tae Gallowa'

Oh, the Gallowa' hills are covered wi' broom
Wi' heather bells in bonnie bloom
Wi' heather bells and rivers a'
An I'll gan oot ower the hills tae Gallowa'
