lyrics

CH: O what will aa the lads do when Maggie gangs away?
O what will aa the lads do when Maggie gangs away?
There’s no a hert in aa this glen that doesna dreed the day
O what will aa the lads do when Maggie gangs away?

Young Jock has taen the hill for it a waefu white is he
Poor Harry’s taen the bed for it an laid him doon tae dee
An Sandy’s gaen intae the kirk an learnin fast tae pray
But o what will the lads do when Maggie gangs away?

CH

The young Laird o the Langshaw has drunk her health in wine
The priest has said in confidence the lassie was divine
An that is mair in maiden’s praise than ony priest should say
But o what will the lads do when Maggie gangs away?

CH

The wailin in oor green glen that day will quaver high
Twill draw the reedbreest fae the wood, the laverock fae the sky
The faeries fae their beds of dew, will rise an join the lay
But o what will the lads do when Maggie gangs away?

Just getting back into folk music. In my folking days it was Nic Jones, Martin Carthy, Dick Gaughan, the Dansfields etc., and I was afraid there wouldn't be anything as good around today. I was wrong. This is beautiful and stands with the best. Del Buck
