The Gallant

Weaver

Where Cart rins rowin to the sea ,By mony a flower and spreading tree,There lives a lad, the lad for me,He is a gallant Weaver. Oh I had wooers aught or nine,They gied me rings and ribbans fine;

And I was fear'd my heart wad tine

And I gied it to the Weaver.

My daddie sign'd my tocher-bandTo gie the lad that has the land,But to my heart I'll add my hand

And give it to the Weaver.

While birds rejoice in leafy bowers, While bees d elight in opening flowers, Whi le corn grows green in simmer showers,I love my gallant Weaver.
