paroles de chanson The Earl of Aboyne - June Tabor
Oh,
the
Earl
of
Aboyne
to
London
has
gone
And
all
his
nobles
with
him
Sad
was
the
heart
of
his
lady
fair
Because
she
could
not
go
with
him
Oh,
the
Earl
of
Aboyne
to
London
has
gone
And
all
his
nobles
with
him
Better
he
had
stayed
at
home
Or
taken
his
lady
with
him
And
as
she
walked
out
upon
the
green
Among
the
gentlewomen
Sad
was
the
letter
that
came
to
her
hand
That
her
lord
was
wed
in
London
And
as
she
looked
over
the
castle
wall
She
saw
two
boys
a-running
"What
news,
what
news,
my
bonny
little
boys
What
news
have
you
of
London?"
"Oh,
good
news,
good
news,
my
lady
gay
For
the
Earl
of
Aboyne
is
coming
And
ere
he′s
within
two
miles
of
your
walls
You
hear
his
bridles
ringing"
"Oh,
my
groom's
all
be
well
in
call
And
happy
days
they
are
shining
Oh,
gone
are
days
spent
on
the
stays
Since
the
lord
of
Aboyne
is
coming
"And
my
mate′s
all
be
well
in
call
And
happier
flowers
are
shining
And
cover
the
stair
with
herbs
sweet
and
fair
And
the
floors
with
the
finest
linen
"And
deck
my
body
in
the
finest
array
And
my
hood
of
the
brightest
linen
And
my
apron
shall
be
of
the
good
silk
cloth
Since
the
lord
of
Aboyne
is
coming"
So
stately
she
stepped
down
the
stair
To
see
if
he
was
coming
And
her
gown
was
of
the
good
green
silk
Trimmed
with
her
red
silk
trimming
She's
called
to
Kate,
her
waiting
maid
And
Jean,
her
gentlewoman
"Come
fetch
me
a
glass
of
the
very
best
wine
To
drink
his
health,
he's
coming"
She′s
gone
out
to
the
close
to
greet
her
lord
Says,
"Welcome
for
your
coming"
She′s
gone
out
to
the
close
to
greet
her
lord
Says,
"Thrice
welcome
from
London"
"Oh,
if
I
be
of
this
welcome
as
you
say
Then
kiss
me
for
my
coming
For
tomorrow
should
have
been
my
wedding
day
If
I'd
stayed
any
longer
in
London"
Oh,
she′s
turned
then
around
with
a
look
of
distaste
Says,
"Woe's
me
for
your
coming
Since
tomorrow
should
have
been
your
wedding
day
Then
go
kiss
your
whore
in
London"
"My
nobles,
all
come,
mount
your
steed
I′m
sorry
for
my
coming
Tonight
we
shall
lie
at
the
bonny
Bogie's
side
Since
tomorrow
the
course
is
to
London"
"Oh
Tom,
my
man,
run
after
him
And
beg
him
to
take
me
with
him."
"Oh,
I′ve
asked
him
once
and
I've
asked
him
the
more
And
it's
never
a
mile
you′ll
ride
with
him."
Then
a
year
and
a
day
she
lived
in
woe
And
the
doctors
they
were
dealing
Until
at
last
her
heart
it
broke
And
letters
were
sent
to
London
When
he
saw
the
letters
all
edged
in
black
Oh,
he′s
bound
to
grievest
weeping
"Oh,
she
is
dead
that
I
loved
best
And
I
had
but
a
heart
in
keeping."
There
were
fifteen
of
the
noblest
lords
That
London
could
provide
him
From
their
hose
to
their
hat
they
were
all
dressed
in
black
To
mourn
for
bonny
Peggy
Irvine
And
the
farther
he
rode
the
sorer
he
wept
For
he
had
but
a
heart
in
keeping
"Oh,
sooner
I
had
lost
all
the
lands
of
Aboyne
Than
my
bonnie
Peggy
Irvine."
