O' That I Were Where Helen

(Robert Burns poem / Live on Acres 01-22-04)

O' that I were where Helen
and day on me she cries
O' I were where Helen lies
In fair lee

O' Helen beyond compare
A ringlet of thy flowing
I'll wear it for ever mair
the day I die

Curs'd be the gun that the shot
And curs'd be the that gave the crack
Into my arms Helen lap
And for sake o' me

O' think na ye but my heart was
My love fell down and spake nae
There did she wi meikle care
On Kirkconnel lee

I down, my sword did draw
I cutted him in pieces
I cutted him in sma'
On Kirkconnel lee

O' Helen chaste, wert modest
If I were with thee I blest
Where lies low and takes thy rest
On Kirkconnel lee

I wish my grave was green
A winding sheet put o'er my
And I in Helen's arms
In fair lee

I wish I were Helen lies
Night and day on me she
O' that I were where Helen
On Kirkconnel lee
