Harking is bonnie

And there lives my love

My heart lies on him

And will not remove

It will not remove

Oh for all that I have done

Oh I never will forget my love Anachie



For Anachie Gordon

He's bonnie and he's rough

He'd entice any woman that ever he saw

He'd entice any woman and so he has done me

Oh I never will forget my love Anachie



Down came her father and he's standing by the door

Saying Jeannie you're trying the tricks of a whore

You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee

You must marry Lord Sulton and leave Anachie

For Anachie Gorden, he's barely but a man

Although he may be pretty but where are his lands?

Oh the Sulton's lands are broad and his towers they run high

You must marry Lord Sulton and leave Anachie



With Anachie Gordon I'd beg for my bread

And before I'll marry Sulton it's gold to my head

With gold to my head and gowns fringed to the knee

And I'll die if I don't get me love Anachie

And you that are my parents to Church you may me bring

But unto Lord Sulton I'll never bear a song

To a son or a daughter, I'll never bow my knee

And I'll die if I don't get me love Anachie



Jeannie was married and from church she was brought home

And when she and her maidens so merry should have been

When she and her maidens so merry should have been

She went into her chambers she cried all alone



Come to bed now Jeannie me honey and my sweet

For to style you my mistress it would be so sweet

Be it mistress or Jeannie it's all the same to me

But in your bed Lord Sulton I never will lie

And down came her father and he's spoken with reknown

Saying you that are her maidens go loosen off her gowns-acap
