I noticed I have never checked your youtube channel when I've been a fan for such a long time. I am such an idiot. Let me appreciate your wonderful songs thankyou very much for everything, Caladh nua will forever be in my top musically gifted band/group!!
@ Zubakx: The concept of 'correct lyrics' for a ballad is something of an impossibility. Ballads, having been passed down and taught mouth to ear, come in many versions and variants. In this they are like traditional blues.
I know I’m 8 years late, but here are the lyrics: It’s of a jolly sailor that’s lately come from sea, He dressed himself in tarry clothes, his true love to go see, He dress himself in tarry clothes, just like a sailor stray, Off to try the heart of Maryanne, the Cruel Lowland Maid. As Jimmy went a walking down by the Riley strand, Down by his lover’s cottage where he spied his Maryanne, She appeared to him like floral, all in her silks arrayed, But the thorn was in the bosom of the Cruel Lowland Maid. Good morning pretty Mary, I'm glad to meet you here But I fear your inclinations they're No longer firm my dear I'm a-fear your inclinations They have turned some other way" - "Oh begone from me" cried Mary-Ann The cruel lowland maid As Jimmy turned to leave her The sailor said "Behold" And from his trousers pockets He pulled out a purse of gold "Forgive me now" cried Mary-Ann "For all that I have said, You are welcome to my cottage with Your lovely lowland maid" "Remember cruel damsel The last words that you said Oh I can lie 'til morning in Some farmers barn or shed Now I can lie 'til morning in Some farmers barn or shed" And away he strayed from Mary-Ann The cruel lowland maid Straight away to another lover This fair one she did go "Have courage now dear Edmund For with me you must go. Have courage now dear Edmund And do no me betray. We will kill and rob the sailor boy Before the break of day" Over hills and lofty mountains Through dales and swampy lands They travelled with their lanterns And their daggers in their hands And with their lights and lanterens To light them on their way 'Til they reached the fatefull stable where The sailorboy he lay Into his tender bosom They plunched the dagger deep They robbed him of his glittering gold And left him there to sleep Some shepherds herding of their flocks Across the fields did stray And they swore against the villain and The cruel lowland maid Oh now the couple is taken And sentence to be hung For the murdering of young Jimmy Who was scarcely in his bloom And as they swung high in the air The people all did say "For the murdering of the sailor hangs The cruel lowland maid" I hope this helps :)

Does someone know the correct lyrics to this beautiful song?
I know I’m 8 years late, but here are the lyrics:
It’s of a jolly sailor that’s lately come from sea,
He dressed himself in tarry clothes, his true love to go see,
He dress himself in tarry clothes, just like a sailor stray,
Off to try the heart of Maryanne, the Cruel Lowland Maid.
As Jimmy went a walking down by the Riley strand,
Down by his lover’s cottage where he spied his Maryanne,
She appeared to him like floral, all in her silks arrayed,
But the thorn was in the bosom of the Cruel Lowland Maid.
Good morning pretty Mary,
I'm glad to meet you here
But I fear your inclinations they're
No longer firm my dear
I'm a-fear your inclinations
They have turned some other way" -
"Oh begone from me" cried Mary-Ann
The cruel lowland maid
As Jimmy turned to leave her
The sailor said "Behold"
And from his trousers pockets
He pulled out a purse of gold
"Forgive me now" cried Mary-Ann
"For all that I have said,
You are welcome to my cottage with
Your lovely lowland maid"
"Remember cruel damsel
The last words that you said
Oh I can lie 'til morning in
Some farmers barn or shed
Now I can lie 'til morning in
Some farmers barn or shed"
And away he strayed from Mary-Ann
The cruel lowland maid
Straight away to another lover
This fair one she did go
"Have courage now dear Edmund
For with me you must go.
Have courage now dear Edmund
And do no me betray.
We will kill and rob the sailor boy
Before the break of day"
Over hills and lofty mountains
Through dales and swampy lands
They travelled with their lanterns
And their daggers in their hands
And with their lights and lanterens
To light them on their way
'Til they reached the fatefull stable where
The sailorboy he lay
Into his tender bosom
They plunched the dagger deep
They robbed him of his glittering gold
And left him there to sleep
Some shepherds herding of their flocks
Across the fields did stray
And they swore against the villain and
The cruel lowland maid
Oh now the couple is taken
And sentence to be hung
For the murdering of young Jimmy
Who was scarcely in his bloom
And as they swung high in the air
The people all did say
"For the murdering of the sailor hangs
The cruel lowland maid"
I hope this helps :)
