letra de rosie anderson - alasdair roberts, amble skuse & david mcguinness
[verse 1]
hay marshall was a gentleman
as ever lived on earth
he courted rosie anderson
a lady into perth
he courted her, he married her
made her his lawful wife
and well i’d say, upon that day
he loved her as his life
he loved her as his life
[verse 2]
there was an -ssembly into perth
and rosie she was there
lord elgin danced with her that night
and did her heart ensnare
lord elgin danced with her that night
and he conveyed her home
hay marshall he came rushing in
just as he sat her down
just as he sat her down
[verse 3]
“i’m all into surprise” he said
“i’m all into surprise
to see you kiss my wedded wife
before my very eyes”
“i did not kiss your wedded wife”
lord elgin he did say
“i only brought her safely home
from the dangers of the way-oh
the dangers of the way”
[verse 4]
“oh had she not a maid” he said
“or had she not a guide?
or had she not a candlelight
oh why was she afraid?”
young betsy she was called on
the quarrel for to face
“i would’ve brought my lady home
but lord elgin took my place
lord elgin took my place”
[verse 5]
“although you be a lord” he said
“and i but a provost son
i’ll make you smart for this” he said
“although you think it fun”
he’s taen his rosie by the hand
and led her from the room
“i’ll send you to far london
till all the speech dies down oh
till all the speech dies down”
[verse 6]
she hadn’t been in london town
a month but barely one
till word is come to hay marshall
his rosie’s born a son
oh [?]
that ever i loved you
to go and leave your own true love
and [?]
and [?]
[verse 7]
“my meat i cannot eat” he said
“my clothes i cannot wear
for thinking on my rosie
whom once i held so dear”
hay marshall’s gone to london town
with money in his purse
he’s going to find some witnesses
his rosie to divorce
his rosie to divorce
[verse 8]
hay marshall had ten witnesses
and rosie had but two
“oh woe is me” cried rosie
“alas what shall i do?”
“if ’twere to do what’s done” she said
“if ’twere to do what’s done
hay marshall’s face i would adore
lord elgin’s i would shun
lord elgin’s i would shun”
[verse 9]
“but spring is coming on” she said
“some regiment will be here
perhaps i’ll find some officer
my broken heart to cheer
my broken heart to cheer”
[verse 10]
hay marshall was a gentlemen
as ever lived on earth
he courted rosie anderson
a lady into perth
