Luyện nghe bài hát Anachie Gordon

(traditional song)

[Performed sometimes at concerts]

Harking is bonny and there my love
My heart on him and will not remove
It not remove ohh for all that I have done
Ohh I will forget me love Anachie
For Anachie he's bonny and he's rough
He'd entice any woman that he saw
He'd entice any woman and so he has me
O I will forget me love Anachie

came her father and he's standing by the door
Saying Jeannie trying the tricks of a whore
You care nothing for a man who cares so much for thee
You marry Lord Sultan and leave Anachie
For Anachie Gordon he's but a man
Although he may be but where are his lands
O the Sultan's lands are broad and his towers they are
You must marry Sultan and leave Anachie

With Anachie I'd beg for my bread
And before I'll marry Sultan gold to my head
gold to my head and gowns fringed to the knee
And die if I don't get me love Anachie
And you that are my parents to you may me bring
But unto Lord Sultan never bear a son
To a son or a I'll never bow my knee
And I'll die if I get me love Anachie

Jeannie was married and from church she was brought
And when she and her maidens so should have been
When she and her maidens so should have been
She went into her chamber, she cried all

Come to bed now me honey and my sweet
For the you my mistress it would be so sweet
Being mistress or it's all the same to me
But in bed Lord Sultan I never will lie
And down came her father and spoken with reknown
Saying you that are her maidens go loosen off her
But she fell down to the floor so down by his knee
Saying father I'm dying for me love Anachie

The day Jeannie was the day that Jeannie died
And the day that young Anachie came home on the
And down her maidens all wringing of their hands
Saying it's been so long you've spent so long on the sands
Ohh so long on the sands, o so long the flood
They have married your and now she lies dead.

You that are her come take me by the hand
And me to the chamber that me love she lies in
And he's kissed her cold lips 'til his has turned to stone
And he's died in the chamber his love she lies in.
