~Lyrics~

With my dog and gun through the blooming heather,
To seek for past-time I chanced to stray,
There a maid I spied, she was tall and slender,
Her looks enticed me a while to stay.

Says I "My fair maid I own I love you,
Tell me your name and your dwelling also",
"Oh, Forget my name sir, you'll find my dwelling,
By the mountain stream where the moorcocks crow".

"If you'd consent and go with a rover,
My former rakings I would leave aside,
Oh I'm doomed to love you, so don't prove cruel,
But do consent to become my bride".

"If my parents knew that I loved a rover,
It is their affliction I would undergo,
Oh, in a dungeon dark they would close confine me,
Near the mountain stream where the moorcocks crow".

"So it's hand in hand, we will walk together
And I'll escort you through yon flowery veils,
And when we meet we'll embrace each other,
And I'll pay attention to your love sick tales".
