W:With my dog and gun through the blooming heather,
W:To seek for pastime I took my way,
W:Where I spied a lovely fair maid,
W:And her charms invited me a while to stay.
W:I said: My dear, you will find that I love you,
W:Tell me your dwelling, and your name also.
W:Excuse my name, and you'll find my dwelling near
W:The mountain streams where the moorcocks crow.
W:
W:I said: My dear, if you'll wed a rover,
W:My former raking I will leave aside.
W:Here is my hand, and I'll pledge my honour,
W:And if you'll prove constant, I'll make you my bride.
W:But if my parents knew that I loved a rover,
W:Great afflictions I would undergo,
W:So I'll stay at home for another season near
W:The mountain streams where the moorcocks crow.
W:
W:Farewell thee darling for another season,
W:I hope we'll meet again in yon moorland vale.
W:And when we meet, we'll embrace each other.
W:I will pay attention to your lovesick tale.
W:Then it's hand in hand we'll join together,
W:And I will take you to yon harbour low,
W:Where the linnet sings her note so pleasing near
W:The mountain streams where the moorcocks crow.
