Anachie Gordon by Mary Black
Harking is bonnie
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 my love anachie
For anachie gordon
He's bonnie 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 my love anachie
Down came her father and he's standing by the door
Saying jeannie you're trying the tricks of a whore
You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee
You must marry lord sulton and leave anachie
For anachie gorden, he's barely but a man
Although he may be pretty but where are his lands?
Oh the sulton's lands are broad and his towers they run high
You must marry lord sulton and leave anachie
With anachie gordon I'd beg for my bread
And before I'll marry sulton 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 sulton I'll never bear a song
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
