O' That I Were Where Lies

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

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

O' fair beyond compare
A ringlet of thy hair
I'll wear it still for mair
the day I die

Curs'd be the gun that the shot
And be the hand 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 and spake nae mair
There did she swoon wi meikle
On fair lee

I lighted down, my did draw
I cutted him in sma'
I cutted him in sma'
On fair lee

O' Helen chaste, thou wert
If I were thee I were blest
Where thou low and takes thy rest
On fair lee

I my grave was growing green
A winding sheet put my e'en
And I in Helen's arms
In fair lee

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