Lyrics
With my dog and gun through the blooming heather
To seek for pastime I chanced to stray
There a maid I spied, she was tall and slender
Her looks enticed me awhile to stay
Fairest eye, my fair maid, I own I love you
Tell me your name and your dwelling also
Excuse my knave, sir, you'll find my dwelling
By the mountain stream where the moorcocks crow
If you consent and go with a roving
My former rakings I would leave aside
I'm doomed to love you, so don't prove cruel
But do agree to become my bride
If my parents knew that I loved a rover
It's great affliction I would undergo
In a dungeon dark they would close confine me
By the mountain streams where the moorcocks crow
If you go round and frequent my parents
Lest a hasty marriage should produce a fall
I'll stay at home for another season
By the mountain streams
It's hand in hand we will roam together
And I'll escort you to the plains below
Where the linnet changes his notes more pleasant
By the mountain streams where the moorcocks crow
