Words by Robert Burns, published in the Scots Musical Museum, Vol. 2,
1790; melody attributed to Thomas Blacklock, arr. Landless. Learned from Caroline Pugh.
lyrics
Lang hae we parted been,
lassie my dearie;
Nou we are met again,
lassie lie near me.
Near me, near me,
lassie lie near me.
Lang hast thou lain thy lane; Lassie,
lie near me.
Frae dread Culloden’s field, bluidie
and drearie;
Mournin’ my country’s fate, lanelie
and wearie.
Wearie, wearie,
lanelie and wearie.
Become a sad, banished wight;
Far frae my dearie.
Loud, loud the wind did roar, stormie
and eerie;
Far frae my native shore,
dangers stude near me.
Near me, near me,
dangers stude near me.
Nou I’ve escaped them all;
Lassie lie near me.
All that I have endured,
lassie my dearie;
Here in thine arms is cured,
lassie lie near me.
Near me, near me,
lassie lie near me.
Lang hast thou lain thy lane; Lassie
lie near me.

One of my favorite albums ever and I listen to it all the time, every song is beautifully made and I admire the songwriting. Way Up on the Mountain wrenches my heart in the best possible way, the blending and passion of these singers is something genuinely special. feathered_fingernail

What an incredible contribution to the tradition this album is. The last track, especially ‘I shall ne’er wean her’, brought me to tears numerous times. Thank you for the healing and inspiration 🙏💜 Xavier Ó Luain
