Two Recruiting Sergeants

Two recruiting sergeants came from the Black Watch
To markets and fairs some recruits for to catch
And all that they listed was for forty an' twa
So list my bonnie laddie and come a-wa
C: For It's over the mountains and over the main
Through Gibraltar to France and Spain
Get a feather in your bonnet and a kilt upon your knee
Enlist bonnie laddie and come a-wa with me
Oh laddie, you don't know the danger you'd be in
If your horses were to fright and your oxen were to run
That greedy old farmer will never pay your fee
So list bonnie laddie an' come a-wa with me
It's everyday the barn and the field and the byre
That old farmer thinks you'll never tire
For it's a slavery job and one of low degree
So list bonnie laddie an' come a-wa with me.
Oh, laddie if ye've got a sweetheart in the town
Or an angry wife and a daughter and a son
The musket and the drum will rid you of 'em aw'
So list bonnie laddie an' come a-wa

I'm lonesome since I crossed the hills,
And o'er the moor that's sedgy;
With heavy thoughts my mind is filled,
Since parting with my lady
E'er I return to view the place
The tears doth fall and blind me,
When I think on the charming grace
Of the girl I left behind me.
C: The girl I left, the girl I left, the girl I left behind me;
If ever I cross that bridge again, I'll pick her up behind me
The hours I remember well,
When next to see doth move me
The burning flames my heart doth tell,
Since first she own'd she loved me:
In search of some one fair and gay
Several doth remind me;
I know my darling loves me well,
Though I left her behind me.
C:
The bees shall bless the land no more
And the dove become a ranger;
The falling water cease to roar,
Before I'll ever change her:
Each mortal promise faithful made,
By her whose heart doth bind me;
And bless the hours I pass away,
With the girl I left behind me.
C:
My mind her image still retains,
Whether asleep or waking;
I hope to see my dear again,
For her my heart is breaking:
But if I chance to go that way,
And she has not resigned me;
I'll reconcile my mind and stay,
With the girl I left behind me.

A-Rovin'

In Amsterdam there lived a maid,
Mark well what I do say,
In Amsterdam there lived a maid
And she was mistress of her trade
I’ll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid
Chorus:
A-rovin', a-rovin', since roving’s been my ru-i-in,
I’ll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid.
Her cheeks were red, her eyes were brown
Mark well what I do say
Her cheeks were red, her eyes were brown
Her pretty hair was hanging down
I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid
break
I took this maiden for a walk,
Mark well what I do say,
I took this maiden for a walk,
And we had such a loving talk
I’ll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid
I kissed her once, I kissed her twice
Mark well what I do say
I kissed her once, I kissed her twice
She said "Young man, that's awful nice"
I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid
break
I gave this maid a parting kiss,
Mark well what I do say,
I gave this maid a parting kiss,
When I got aboard, my money I missed.
I’ll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid.
