about

I learned this song over 30 years ago from a recording of American folk singer, Jean Ritchie. She had collected the song in Ireland. She has been a great inspiration for me, and this song remains my all-time favourite. - Rosie Wells.

lyrics

It’s with Kitty I’ll go for a ramble
Over the mountains wild
Where the blackbirds nest in the bramble
In a home where the eagle chides
Or in some lonely valley
Where the birds in the evening nest
And mine with their prayers would mingle
For the sun to hurry west

Oh, I’ll buy the roughest of raiment
To last out the life of man
My whiskers unkempt and unshaven
‘Til the reach is a mile in span
Like the fleece of the grey mountain wether
They’ll tumble and dangle around
If I don’t get a wife in the heather
I’ll try in the new-mown ground
