lyrics
One blooming late spring morning Hannah Watson gently strayed
By the verdant banks of Mourne to gather green pollard sprays
Cross her path came a young stranger, kind words he did employ
To enchant and so beguile her, that dark and slender boy.
She plucked young sapling willow for basket, creel and cross
Her courted her so tenderly her pure heart soon she lost
‘Oh, come away to sweet Rosguill, be my love’s own pride and joy’,
True sounded the soft entreaties of the dark and slender boy.
They walked and talked together, heard the buíóg’s tinkling trill
Plucked woodbine and dog roses lying lost in youth’s bright thrill,
He told her of his father’s fields way north above Convoy
Of mountain glade and heather bell her dark and slender boy.
To and anxious cott she did late return with ne’er hazel rod nor sally spurr
Her father’s anger flashing hot, brothers wild berating her,
She told them of her Doaltach dark, Dooey’s craggy, honeyed joys
That she would soon be repairing with, her dark and slender boy.
He was not at their trysting stone nor at Monteith’s Cross next day,
Her family cursed her foolishness and bade her bide and stay,
She searched high along sweet Mourneside banks, who could her heart so destroy
There gaping stiff neath the salmon weir, death white her slender boy.
From Derry quay she sailed away, her heart heavy and full sore
She stared across the racing foam to spired hills she’s see no more
‘I’ll seek my life’s sad fortune, use whatever ruse or ploy,
For no man more shall know me know save my dark and slender boy.

Thanks for the beautiful music Karine and Dave. it's been a while since I've felt so emotional listening to a new album. Every lyric is so beautifully supported by the piano parts. Laura-Beth Salter
