Andrew Lammie Songtext / Lyric

At Fyvie's gate there grows a flower

It grows both broad and bonnie

A daisy in the midst of it

Its name is Andrew Lammie



O gin that flower were my breast

For the love I bear the laddie

So blithe and merry I would be

And kiss my Andrew Lammie



Love I must go to Edinburgh

Love I must go and leave thee

She sighed full sore and said no more

But o gin I were with thee



I'll buy my love a wedding gown

My love I'll buy it bonnie

But I'll be gone ere you come back

How I love thee Andrew Lammie






Love pines away, love dwines away

And love decayed my body

And love crept in at my bedfoot

And he took possesion of me



Her brother beat her wondrous sore

Til the strokes they were not canny

And he broke her back on yon hall door

For loving Andrewa Lammie



O mother go and make my bed

And lay my head to Fyvie

For its there I'll lie and there I'll die

For loving Andrew Lammie



Syne he's come back from Edinburgh

To the bonnie house of Fyvie

He's turned his face to the northeast

To look for Tifty's Annie



Oh East and West where'er I go

My love she's always with me

Oh East and West where'er I go

My love she dwells in Fyvie



Oh it's many is the time I've walked at night

And never was I weary

But now it's I must walk alone

For I will not see my deary
