The Verdant Braes Of Screen-Altan [00:00:04]
As I roved out one evening fair[00:00:07]
By the verdant braes of Screen[00:00:14]
I set my back to a hawthorn tree[00:00:20]
To view the sun in the west country[00:00:28]
And the dew on the forest green[00:00:35]
A lad I spied by Abhann's side[00:00:46]
And a maiden by his knee[00:00:53]
And he was as dark as the very brown wood[00:00:59]
And she all whey and wan to see[00:01:07]
All whey and wan was she[00:01:14]
'Oh, sit you down on the grass,' he said[00:01:25]
'On the dewy grass so green[00:01:31]
For the wee birds all have come and gone[00:01:38]
Since I, my true love, have seen,' he said[00:01:45]
'Since I, my true love, have seen'[00:01:52]
'Then I'll not sit on the grass,' she said[00:02:03]
'Nor be a love of thine[00:02:10]
For I hear you love a Connaught maid[00:02:17]
And your heart's no longer mine,' she said[00:02:24]
'And your heart's no longer mine'[00:02:31]
'And I will climb a high, high tree[00:02:42]
And I'll rob a wild bird's nest[00:02:49]
And back I'll bring whatever I do find[00:02:55]
To the arms that I love best,' she said[00:03:03]
'To the arms that I love best'[00:03:10]
