Come my Love
Come My Love With Me To The Misty Mountains 1973

E 4/4

To the mountains we set off last Sunday Morning –

Halfway there my affliction came without warning;

But at last we got there and my head was as clear –

As the crisp clean air in the distant misty mountains.

Chorus:

Oh how I love the trickling streams and the misty mountains,

And the lochs and the valleys and the pine trees growing around them -

Come, my love, with me to the crystal fountain –

Come my love, with me to the misty mountains.

Cyril and me - we talked quite free about the months past –
And we knew – we two – that this week would go fast;
And the wind and the rain came again and again –
And tried to stop us seeing the wonders of this land.

The next day we met some girls who became good friends there –
They were from the City where air is not so clear there;
And the cuckoo chimed - as we all climbed Ben Lomond –
And we laughed as the bees made the girls all flee in the mountains.

And poor Ann Joan found it real hard going – she had a sore back –
Fiona and Sue said she did it carrying up her rucksack.
Sue and Ann Joan climbed in ‘sannies’ and Fiona had her clogs –
And when we got down we were brown, but tired as hungry wild dogs.

Then we all went to the island out from our tents there –
And we walked all around but the bracken on the ground there –
Scratched the girls – they wore skirts – their legs were bare –
I bet the bumble bees were really pleased on that island!

We tried five in the boat – but it would hardly float from that island;
So we first brought one then the other two from that island.
That night we had a fire, roasting totties and singing folk songs –
We had to kill the fire when the warden told us we were doing wrong.

When the girls had to go – it made us really low – on those mountains –
We took them to the city – it was not so pretty as the mountains.
Saw some art, did some shopping, then we went back to their place –
Has supper, sang songs and talked about the mountains.
