I feel so home-sick right now that I cry like a baby. How I miss all that and all of you as I have to dwell in this cold hearted and desolate country. I wish, I could have a pint with all of you at the Hotel in Strathcarron. Love you all, miss you all. Michael
It flows through urhome town. That was nae the Afton on the video. AV drank swam fished and pished in the Afton since I was a boy .I know it like the back of my hand even in the dark.
Me too, I can't stand America. It's fallen so far from it's former glory it's sickening. I just want to go back to the land of my ancestors. Poverty is one of the hardest walls to break in one's life. Never underestimate it by thinking just because you have alot of money your fine. People today have no idea how fast a their world could crumble to ash in the blink of an eye.
I am not Scottish (despite nimrods claiming I am based on my maiden name, McPherson) but I do love this song. It is just beautiful!! Love painting while listening to this song. Found it soothing while pregnant as well.
Stunning! I don't even remember where I heard bits of this song but I'm sure glad it brought me here. I recently returned from a too short trip to Scotland, but I had relatives there a couple of centuries ago.
Such a sweet song. I first heard it on my Celtic Christmas CD. It sounds very similar to Away in a Manger in the instrumental version I have. This is so beautiful.
There's an old brand of non tipped cigarette in Ireland called Sweet Afton which has a picture of Robert Burns on the front with the first two lines from this song, Emmylou Harris whenever she's in Ireland buys cartons of them to take home with her.
This is Nickel Creek performing. The singer is Chris Thile, pronounced thee' lee. There are several versions on TH-cam, but this is the only one with the lyrics on the screen.
anze731, i would have had a lot in common with your dear papa, scotland is a nation, but we are treated like serfs by every english government down the centuries Rest in peace papa, you never lived to see scotland throw off its shackles, but god willing we will do it for you Alba Gu Brath
This melody is by Chris Thiele, an American. The tune the lyric was first published with in The Scots Musival Museum (1792) was called "Afton Water." Robert Burns's first draft of the song (1789) placed it with "Banks of Tay," by James Oswald. Both of those tunes are more appropriate to the lyric than this one; Oswald's is far superior.
