Sweet Lover of Mine - Live

[00:06.93] As I cam o'er by Bonny Moor Hill*
[00:10.41] Every rose grows bonny in time
[00:13.54] I met a wee lass, and they ca'ed her Nell
[00:16.98] Longing to be a sweet lover o mine
[00:20.10] It's questions three I'll ask o thee
[00:23.58] Every rose grows bonny in time
[00:26.68] And it's questions three you maun answer me
[00:29.95] Before you are a sweet lover o mine
[00:35.04]
[00:47.54] You maun mak me a cambric shirt
[00:52.59] Every rose grows bonny in time
[00:55.54] Withoot one stitch o your needlework
[00:58.81] Before you are a sweet lover o mine
[01:02.39] You maun wash it in yonder well
[01:05.65] Every rose grows bonny in time
[01:08.72] Where water ne'er ran and rain never fell
[01:12.02] Before you are a sweet lover o mine
[01:14.94] Then dry it oot on yonder thorn
[01:18.88] Every rose grows bonny in time
[01:21.94] Where blossom ne'er bloomed since Adam was born
[01:25.28] Before you are a sweet lover o mine
[01:44.24] It's questions three you've asked o me
[01:47.74] Every rose grows bonny in time
[01:50.69] And it's questions three you'll noo answer me
[01:54.19] Before you are a sweet lover o mine
[01:57.65] You maun get me an acre of land
[02:01.04] Every rose grows bonny in time
[02:04.11] Atween the saut sea and sea water strand
[02:07.43] Before you are a sweet lover o mine
[02:10.97] Then plough it aa wi an auld ram's horn
[02:14.25] Every rose grows bonny in time
[02:17.15] And then sow it o'er wi one grain of corn
[02:20.50] Before you are a sweet lover o mine
[02:25.59]
[02:38.16] You maun sheer it with a sickle of leather
[02:41.40] Every rose grows bonny in time
[02:44.59] And bind it up wi a peacock's feather
[02:47.86] Before you are a sweet lover o mine
[02:50.88] Then stook it o'er on yonder sea
[02:54.77] Every rose grows bonny in time
[02:57.62] And bring the shell sheaf dry unto me
[03:01.02] Before you are a sweet lover o mine
[03:06.44]
[03:31.07] When you've done and finished your work
[03:34.36] Every rose grows bonny in time
[03:37.24] You may call untae me for your cambric shirt
[03:40.86] And you shall be a sweet lover o mine
[03:44.61]
