Kelvin Grove. Let us haste to Kelvin Grove, bonny laddie, O, The sweet scene of early love, bonny laddie, O, Farewell to cot and mill, farewell to dell and hill; We'll fondly gaze adieu, bonny laddie, O. Hark! the drums to arms beat, bonny laddie, O, Let us march, our foes to meet, bonny laddie, O, When in the battle field, love's guardian angel shield, And my prayer shall be for thee, bonny laddie, O. If thou'rt wounded in the strife, bonny laddie, O, I will cheer and guard thy life, bonny laddie, O, Amid dread war's alarms, thy pillow be my arms, Till health again restore my dear bonny laddie, O. When peace shall bless our shore, bonny laddie, O, To our native hills once more, bonny laddie, O, With little cot and mill, beside the fall and hill, And Scotland's sons shall hail my bonny laddie, O. They're aꞌ noddin. As sung by Mrs. AUSTIN. And they're a' noddin, nid, nid, noddin, O they're a' noddin, nid, nid, noddin, The de'il take tak' ye a' for ye've been a noddin too; O we're a' noddin, nid, nid, noddin, An' how many bairns ha' ye? Lassie, I ha' five; O we're a' noddin, nid, nid, noddin, O we're a' noddin, at our house at hame; But the drums they beat, and the pipes they play, And the foulk are a' crazy for to march away; While we're a' noddin, &c. O we're a' noddin, nid, nid, noddin, O we're a' noddin, at our house at hame, The Minute Gun at Sea. Let him who sighs in sadness hear, When in the storm on Albion's coast, He marks some vessel's dusky form, Swift on the shore a hardy few, The life-boat manned with a gallant, gallant crew, Through the wild surf they cleave their way, For they go the crew to save. But oh! what raptures fill each breast, Of all the dangers that befell; Then is heard no more, By the watch on the shore, March to the Battle Field. March to the battle field; The foe is now before us, And tore each link asunder! The foe is now before us, Who, for his country brave, Would fly from her invader? Who, his base life to save, Would, traitor-like, degrade her? Our home and laws, Of bright renown, Or die, our rights maintaining! March, &c. The Campbells are comin. The Campbells are comin, O ho, O ho, The Campbells are comin, O ho, O ho, The Campbells are comin From bonny Loch Lomond. The Campbells are comin, O ho, O ho. The great Argyle he goes before, Wi' bonnet blue, auld Scotia's pride, Hark! hark! the pibroch's sound I hear, The Minstrel's Return. He sings in the bower of his fair: The bugle no more calls to arms, A soldier no more, but a lover, I kneel to the power of thy charms! Sweet lady, dear lady, I'm thine, I bend to the magic of beauty, The minstrel his suit warmly prest, She blush'd, sigh'd, and hung down her head, Till conquer'd, she fell on his breast, And thus to the happy youth said: "The bugle shall part us, love, never, My bosom thy pillow shall be; Till death tears thee from me for ever, Still faithful, I'll perish with thee." Sweet lady, dear lady, I'm thine, I bend to the magic of beauty! But fame called the youth to the field, But soon he laid low with the dead: "I die, while my country defending, For the grave of my hero is mine, He died true to love and to duty!" Meeting of the Waters. There is not in the wide world a valley so sweet, |
