lyrics
With my dog and gun through the blooming heather
For game and pleasure I mademy way
I spied a maiden tall and handsome
Her eyes enticed me some time to stay
Said I, ‘fair maid, don’t you know I love you
Tell me your name and your dwelling also’
‘Excuse my name, Sir, you’ll find my dwelling
By the mountain streams where the moorcocks crow.’
Said I, ‘Fair maid, if you wed a farmer
You’ll be tied for life to one plot of land.
I’m a roving Johnnie if you’ll go with me
You will have no ties so give me your hand.’
‘If my parents knew, Sir, I loved a rover
I am sure twould be my overthrow
So I’ll stay at home, Sir, another season
By the mountain streams where the moorcocks crow.’
‘So its fare thee well, love, another season
We will meet again by yon wooded vale
And I’ll sit you down, love, upon my knew then
And I’ll listen to your lovesick tale.’
And its arm in arm we will go together
By yon lofty trees to the valley below
Where the linnets sing their song so sweetly
By the mountain streams where the moorcocks crow.

This album is stunning!! I love the vocals - Daoirí Farrell has such a fantastic voice. The bouzouki and touches of flute are so excellent. A really really fantastic Irish album! lynnaround
