O'er the Hills and Far Away

Jocky met with Jenny fair
 Between the dawning and the day
 But Jocky now is full of care
 Since Jenny stole his heart away
 Although she promised to be true
 She proven has, alack, unkind
 The which does make poor Jocky rue
 That e'er he loved a fickle mind
 Jocky was a bonny lad
 That e'er was born in Scotland fair
 But now poor lad he does run mad
 Since Jenny causes his despair
 Young Jocky was a piper's son
 He fell in love when he was young
 And all the tunes that he could play
 Was O'er the Hills and Far Away
 And it's o'er the hills and far away
 It's o'er the hills and far away
 It's o'er the hills and far
 The wind has blown my plaid away
 He sang when first my Jenny's face
 I saw she seemed so full of grace
 With mickle joy my heart was filled
 That's now alas with sorrow killed
 Oh were she but as true as fair
 'T would put an end to my despair
 Instead of that she is unkind
 And waivers like the winter wind
 And it's o'er the hills and far away
 It's o'er the hills and far away
 It's o'er the hills and far
 The wind has blown my plaid away
 Hard was my hap to fall in love
 With one that does so faithless prove
 Hard was my fate to court a maid
 Who has my constant heart betrayed
 Since she is false whom I adore
 I'll never trust a woman more
 From all their charms I'll flee away
 And on my pipes I'll sweetly play
 And it's o'er the hills and far away
 It's o'er the hills and far away
 It's o'er the hills and far
 The wind has blown my plaid away
