The Music Of Scotland



    The Rowan Tree / The Auld Hoose
    Bonnie Lass Of Fyvie / We're No Awa' Tae Bide Awa'

    Rowan Tree

    Oh rowan tree, Oh rowan tree
    Thou'lt aye be dear tae me
    Entwined thou art wi' mony ties
    O' hame and infancy.

    Thy leaves were aye the first o' spring
    Thy flowers the summer's pride
    There was nae sich a bonnie tree
    In all the country side.

    The Auld Hoose

    Oh the auld hoose, the auld hoose
    What tho' the rooms were wee
    Oh, kind hearts were dwelling there
    And bairnies fu' o' glee.

    The wild rose and the jasamine
    Still hang up on the wa'
    Hoo mony cherished memories
    Do they sweet flow'rs reca'.

    Bonnie Lass Of Fyvie

    There was a troop o' Irish Dragoons
    Cam' marchin' doon through Fyvie-O
    An' their Captain fell in love wi' a very bonnie lass
    An' her name it was ca'd pretty Peggy-O.

    There's mony a bonnie lass frae the Howe o' Auchterless
    There's mony a bonnie lass in the Garioch-O
    O' there's mony a bonnie Jean in the toon of Aberdeen
    But the floo'er o' them a' is in Fyvie-O.

    We're No Awa' Tae Bide Awa'

    We're no awa' tae bide awa'
    We're no awa' tae leave ye
    We're no awa' tae bide awa
    We'll aye come back tae see ye.

    (Repeat this chorus)
