Anachie Gordon - Sharon Shannon
Harking is bonny
And there lives my love
My heart lies on him
And will not remove
It will not remove
Oh for all that I have done
Oh I never will forget me love Anachie
For Anachie Gordon he's bonny
And he's rough
He'd entice any woman
That ever he saw
He'd entice any woman
And so he has done me
Oh I never will forget me love Anachie
Down came her father
And he's standing by the door
Saying Jeannie your trying
The tricks of a whole
You care nothing for a man
Who cares so very much for they
You must marry Lord Sultan
And leave Anachie
For Anachie Gordon
He's barely but a man
Although he may be pretty
But where are his lands
Oh the Sultan's lands are broad
And his towers they are high
You must marry Lord Sultan
And leave Anachie
With Anachie Gordon
I'd beg for my bread
And before I'll marry Sultan
It's gold to my head
With gold to my head
And gowns fringed to the knee
And I'll die if I don't get me love Anachie
And you that are my parents to church you
May me bring
But unto Lord Sultan
I'll never bear a son
To a son or a daughter
I'll never bow my knee
And I'll die if I don't get me love Anachie
Jeannie was married and from church
She was brought home
And when she and her maidens
So merry should have been
When she and her maidens
So merry should have been
She went into her chamber
She cried all alone
Come to bed now Jeannie me honey
And me sweet
For the style you my mistress
It would be so sweet
Being mistress or Jeannie
It's all the same to me
But in your bed Lord Sultan I never will lie
And down came her father
And he's spoken with reknown
Saying you that are her maidens
Go loosen off her gowns
But she fell down to the floor
So close down by his knee
Saying father look
I'm dying for me love Anachie
The day Jeannie married was the day
That Jeannie died
And the day that young Anachie came home
On the tide
And down came her maidens all wringing
Of their hands
Saying Lord it's been so long
Been so long on the sands
Oh so long on the sands
Oh so long upon the flood
They have married your Jeannie
And now she lies dead
You that are her maidens
Come take me by the hand
And take me to the chamber
That me love she lies in
And he's kissed her cold lips
Till his heart has turned to stone
And he's died in the chamber
That his love she lies in
