Lyrics

The Mountain Streams Where The Moorcocks Crow 
Traditional, arr. Susan McKeown 

With my dog and gun through the blooming heather
To seek for pastime I took my way
Where I espied a lovely fair one
Her charms invited me awhile to stay
I sayd "My darling you will find I love you
Tell me your dwelling and your name also"
"Excuse my name and you'll find my dwelling near
The mountain streams where the moorcocks crow" 

I said "My darling if you'll wed a rover
My former raking I will leave aside
Here is my hand and I pledge my honour
If you'll prove constant I'll make you my bride"
"If my parents knew that I loved a rover
Great affliction I would undergo
I'll stop at home for another season near
The mountain streams where the moorcocks crow" 

"Then farewell darling for another season
I hope we'll meet in yon woodland vale
And when we meet we'll embrace each other
I'll pay attention to your love-sick tale
It's hand in hand we will join together and
I'll escort you to yon valley low
Where the linnet sings her sweet notes so pleasing near
The mountain streams where the moorcocks crow"
