[ Featuring Cathy Clasper-Torch, Elwood Donnelly ]
Buchan 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 and so he's done me
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 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 Gordon, 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 are high
You must marry Lord Sulton and leave Anachie.""
""With Anachie Gordon I'd beg for my bread
And before I 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 my love Anachie
And you who are my parents to church you may me bring
But unto Lord Sulton, I'll never bear a son
To a son or a daughter, I'll never bow my knee
And I'll die if I don't get my 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 chamber, 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 renown,
Saying, ""You who are her maidens go loosen up her gowns.""
And she fell down to the floor, so close down by his knee
Saying, ""Father, look I'm dying for my love Anachie.""
The day Jeannie married was the day Jeannie died
And the day that young Anachie came home on the tide
And down came her maidens all ringing of their hands
Saying, ""Oh it's been so long, it's been so long on the sands
Oh so long on the sands, so long on the flood
They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead.""
""You who are her maidens come take me by the hand
And take me to the chamber that my love she lies in.""
And he's kissed her cold lips and his heart has turned to stone
And he's died in the chamber that his love she lies in
