Lyrics The Blind Harper (feat. Dónal Lunny) - Andy Irvine
Have
you
heard
of
the
blind
harper
How
he
lived
in
Lochmaben
town
He
would
go
to
fair
England
To
steal
King
Henry's
wanton
brown
But
first
he's
gone
unto
his
wife
With
all
the
speed
that
he
could
show
This
work
he
says
it'll
never
go
well
Without
the
help
of
our
good
grey
mare
She
says
you
take
the
good
grey
mare
She'll
run
o'er
hills
both
low
and
high
Sit
you
on
the
grey
mare's
back
And
leave
her
foal
at
home
with
me
So
he
is
off
to
England
gone
Even
as
fast
as
go
could
he
When
he
came
to
Carlisle
gates
Who
should
be
there
but
the
King
Henry
The
king
he
looked
over
his
left
shoulder
And
he
says
unto
his
serving
groom
Take
the
poor
blind
harper's
mare
And
put
her
beside
my
wanton
brown
And
the
harper
harped
and
then
he
sang
And
he
charmed
them
all
so
fast
asleep
Straightway
he
took
off
his
shoes
Quietly
down
the
stairs
did
creep
When
he
came
to
the
stable
door
With
a
tread
as
light
as
light
could
be
When
he
opened
and
went
in
He
found
thirty
steeds
and
three
And
he's
taken
the
halter
from
his
hose
And
from
his
purpose
he
did
not
fail
He
tied
it
over
the
wanton's
nose
And
he's
tied
it
to
the
grey
mare's
tail
And
he's
loosed
them
out
of
the
castle
gates
And
the
mare
didn't
fail
to
find
her
way
She
was
at
Lochmaben
town
Three
long
hours
before
the
day
And
the
very
next
morning
in
broad
daylight
When
they
had
ended
all
their
cheer
Behold
the
wanton
brown
was
gone
Likewise
the
poor
blind
harper's
mare
It's
O
and
alas
says
the
blind
harper
It's
ever
and
alas
that
I
came
here
In
Scotland
I've
lost
me
a
good
grey
foal
In
England
they've
stolen
me
old
grey
mare
Hold
your
talking
you
blind
harper
And
again
of
your
music
let
us
hear
Well
paid
shall
your
colt
foal
be
You
will
have
a
far
better
mare
So
the
harper
harped
and
then
he
sang
And
sweet
was
the
music
he
let
then
hear
He
was
paid
for
a
foal
that
he
never
had
lost
And
three
times
over
for
the
good
grey
mare
