My love is like a red red rose

Scottish song

My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose
Oh, my love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June
Oh, my love is like a melody
That's sweetly played in tune
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.
Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.

'Til all the seas gang dry my, my dear
And the rocks melt with the sun
And I will love thee still, my dear
While the sands of life shall run
But faretheewell, my only love
Oh, faretheewell a while
And I will come again, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile
And I will come again, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile.

Good Bye, your voice still raises the hairs on the back of my neck! Rest in Peace.

My love is more stunning than a picket fence that I newly built in June,

To fail to praise her beauty more was an offence that left our love a ruin,

I was too slow to understand why she did so often describe it stunning,

The hint I failed to comprehend is why my love she now is shunning,

I said that Juliet could soon have found another Romeo so why the tragedy,

But now that she is gone I realise you should do all to keep your treasure in your play,

@boysnips If you have an Android tab or ipad there is a great Burns app free to download. Every poem written by Burns -- in the hundreds. Not bad for a man who died at 37 and fathered 12children.

Kenneth Mackellar - magnificent.

I thought I'd heard all the great songs until last Burns night, then I heard this wonderful song and realised why we have Burns night

Stunning.

This is absolutely lovely, easy on the ear. My late Mother shared her birthday with Kenneth McKellar, 23rd June, 1927, and she could sing too! She used to love Kenneth and we had all his records at hom in the 60s. She used to sing My Ain Folk and Kenneth does a lovely version of this, and it brings tears to my eyes to hear it. RIP Mum and Mr. McKellar

Check out Kenneth McKeller's "My grannie's Hielane' Hame .... it always brought a tear to my eye when I was young.
