Maura O'Connell - Down The Moor Lyrics
As I roved out on the moor one dayIt being fair and sunny weatherSome miles from home I chanced to roamAcross the bonny purple heatherDown the moor and across the heatherDown the moor and across the heatherSome miles from home I chanced to roamAcross the bonny purple heatherDown the moorAs I rolled along to the hunting songMy heart was light as any featherWhen I saw a lass coming o'er the grassTripping the dew from off the heatherDown the moor and across the heatherDown the moor and across the heatherSome miles from home I chanced to roamAcross the bonny purple heatherDown the moorI said my lass, where are you goingHill or dale oh, tell me whitherI'm going to the banks of the bonny brown braesFor the feeding of my lambs togetherDown the moor and across the heatherDown the moor and across the heatherSome miles from home I chanced to roamAcross the bonny purple heatherDown the moorSo up she got and away she wentHer name or place I ne'er did gatherBut if I were king, I'd make her queenThat bonny wee lass across the heatherDown the moor and across the heatherDown the moor and across the heatherSome miles from home I chanced to roamAcross the bonny purple heatherDown the moor
