The Sands o the Shore
I aince had a sweetheart but noo I hae nane
He stole awa ma hairt but I got it back again
I got it back again and sae let it be
For I care nae mair for him than the waves o the sea
CHORUS: The sands o the shore and the waves o the sea
When his back is turned he’s a stranger tae me
He’s a stranger tae me aye and sae let it be
For I care nae mair for him than the waves o the sea
He bocht fur me the praisent o a braw diamond ring
He thocht it wid entice me tae gang awa wi him
But I wasnae as foolish as he’s taen me tae be
An’ I care nae mair for him than the waves o the sea
He is the son o a high lord and king
But I am just the dochter o a pair working-man
So it he’s drink his wine an’ I’ll drink my tea
And I care nae mair for him than the waves o the sea

The Rollin Hills O The Borders
I've travelled far, I've wandered wide
Seen the Hudson and the Clyde
I've courted by Loch Lomand side
But I dearly lou the borders
Chorus: When I die, bury me low
Where I can hear the bonnie Tweed flow
A sweeter place I'll never know
Than the rolling hills o' the borders
Well, dae I hae mind the day
Wae my lass I strolled by the Tay
But a' its beauty fades away
Amang the hills o' the borders
There's a certain place o' mind
Bonnie lassies there you'll find
And men sae sturdy and yet sae kind
Amang the hills o' the borders

Gin I Were A Baron's Heir
Oh gin I were a baron's heir
And could I braid wi' gems your hair
And mak ye braw as ye are fair
Lassie, wad ye lou me?
And I could tak ye tae the toon
And shaw ye braw sichts mony's an ane
And busk ye wi' a silken goon
Lassie, wad ye lou me?
And wad ye be content tae prove
In lowly life unfading love
A heart that nocht on earth could move?
Lassie, wad ye lou me?
And ere the laverock wings the sky
Sae, wad ye tae the forest hie
And wark wi' me sae merrily?
Lassie, wad ye lou me?
And ere the braw moon glistens o'er
Oor wee bit beild an' heathry moor
Will ye no greet that we're sae poor?
Lassie, wad ye lou me?
And I hae nocht tae offer ye
Nae gowd frae mine, nae pearl frae sea
Nor am I come o' high degree
Lassie, but I lou ye
Oh gin I were a baron's heir
And could I braid wi' gems your hair
And mak ye braw as ye are fair
Lassie, wad ye lou me?
And I hae nocht tae offer ye
Nae gowd frae mine, nae pearl frae sea
Nor am I come o' high degree
Lassie, but I lou ye
Lassie, but I lou ye
Lassie, but I lou ye

Greenland Whale Fisheries
"Greenland is a hell of a place
It’s a place that’s seldom green
Where there’s ice and snow, and the Whale fishes blow
And the daylight’s seldom seen brave boys
And the daylight’s seldom seen"
"
In eighteen hundred seen and sixty three
On June the 14th day
Our gallant ship her anchor weighed
And for Greenland sailed away brave boys
For Greenland sailed away
"
"Our Captain he stood on the quarter deck
With a spy glass in his hand
There’s a whale, there’s a whale, there’s a bloody great whale
And she blows on every span brave boys
And she blows on every span
"
"We hit that whale and the line paid out
But she made a flunder with her tail
And the boat capsized and ten men were drowned
And we ne’er did catch that whale brave boys
And we ne’er did catch that whale
"
"The loosing of those ten brave men
It grieves my heart full sore
But the loosing of that bloody great whale
It grieves me ten times more brave boys
It grieves me ten times…
"
"When the ship is moored and safe secured
And all tied up on shore
We’ll all raise a glass take a bonny willing lass
And make this ale hoose roar Brave boys
And Make this ale hoose roar
"
"Greenland is a hell of a place
It’s a place that’s seldom green
Where there’s ice and snow, and the Whale fishes blow
And the daylight’s seldom seen brave boys
And the daylight’s seldom seen"
