Lyrics - Where Helen Lies by Burns Robert

Where
Helen
Lies (
Robert
Burns)
O that
I were where
Helen lies,
Night and day on me she cries;
O that
I were where
Helen lies
In fair
Kirkconnel lee.
O
Helen fair beyond compare,
A ringlet of thy flowing hair,
I'll wear it still for ever mair
Until the day
I die.
Curs'd be the hand that shot the shot.
And curs'd the gun that gave the crack!
Into my arms bird
Helen lap,
And died for sake o me!
O think na ye but my heart was sair;
My
Love fell down and spake nae mair;
There did she swoon wi meikle care
On fair
Kirkconnel lee.
I lighted down, my sword did draw,
I cutted him in pieces sma';
I cutted him in pieces sma'
On fair
Kirkconnel lee.
O
Helen chaste, thou wert modest,
If
I were with thee
I were blest
Where thou lies low and takes thy rest
On fair
Kirkconnel lee.
I wish my grave was growing green,
A winding sheet put o'er my e'en,
And
I in
Helen's arms lying
In fair
Kirkconnel lee!
I wish
I were where
Helen lies!
Night and day on me she cries:
O that
I were where
Helen lies
On fair
Kirkconnel lee.tune:
Where
Helen
Lies (203)filename[
