Over The Hills and Far Away (traditional Song) - D'Urfey Lyrics

D'Urfey Lyrics

Jocky met with Jenny fair

Aft by the dawning of the day;

But Jockey now is fu' of care

Since Jenny staw his heart away.

Altho' she promis'd to be true

She proven has, alake! unkind

Which gars poor Jockey aften rue

That e'er he loo'd a fickle mind.

Tis o'er the hills and far away

Tis o'er the hills and far away

Tis o'er the hills and far away

The wind has blown my plaid away

Since that she will nae pity take

I maun gae wander for her sake

And, in ilk wood and gloomy grove

I'll, sighing, sing," Adieu to love.

Since she is fause whom I adore

I'll never trust a woman more;

Frae a' their charms I'll flee away

And on my pipes I'll sweetly play,"

O'er hills and dales and far away

O'er hills and dales and far away

O'er hills and dales and far away

The wind has blawn my plad away.
