Over the Border lyrics

I've seen them lilting

All at the yowe milking

Lassies a lilting

All at the dawn o day

Noo there's moaning

On ilka green loaning

The floo'ers of the forest

Are a wede away

The courting gate's idle

No lad flings his bridle

Over the yoke stoupe

And comes seeking May

Woe's hard but we misses

Our lads softest kisses

The flowers of the forest

Have gone right away

Doul and wae tae the order

Sent our lads over the border

The flowers of the forest are all gone away

The wind blows over the border

The burn flows over the border

The bird flies over the border

Hope lies over the border

If the gates and the borders

And the states and their orders

If the gates and the borders

Were a wede away...

Pull down the walls...

The wind blows over the border

The burn flows over the border

The bird flies over the border

Love lies over the border...
