[00:00.00]The Verdant Braes of Skreen

[00:30.15]As I roved out one evening fair
[00:36.54]By the verdant braes of Screen
[00:41.91]I set my back to a hawthorn tree
[00:47.84]To view the sun in the west country
[00:54.48]And the dew on the forest green
[01:00.05]
[01:01.01]A lad I spied by Abhann's side
[01:06.81]And a maiden by his knee
[01:12.47]And he was as dark as the very brown wood
[01:18.94]And she all whey and wan to see
[01:24.65]All whey and wan was she
[01:30.56]
[01:31.29]"Oh sit you down on the grass," he said
[01:37.20]"On the dewy grass so green
[01:42.59]For the wee birds all have come and gone
[01:48.73]Since I my true love have seen," he said
[01:55.18]"Since I my true love have seen"
[02:03.21]
[02:28.10]"Then I'll not sit on the grass," she said
[02:34.56]"Nor be a love of thine
[02:40.01]For I hear you love a Connaught maid
[02:47.61]And your heart's no longer mine," she said
[02:55.00]"And your heart's no longer mine"
[02:59.83]
[03:00.34]"And I will climb a high, high tree
[03:06.46]And I'll rob a wild bird's nest
[03:11.61]And back I'll bring whatever I do find
[03:17.93]To the arms that I love best," she said
[03:24.37]"To the arms that I love best"
