lyrics

Well the first place that I met my love, it was at a ball
I looked at her
I stared at her
Far above them all

But aye she look'ed on me with scorn and distane
And the bonnie wee lassie's answer was to
Don't Come Again
Was to Don't Come Again
And the bonnie wee lassie's answer was to
Don't Come Again

Well the next place that I met my love, it was at a wake
I looked at her
I started at her
I thought me heart would break

But aye she look'ed on me with scorn and distane
And the bonnie wee lassie's answer was to
Don't Come Again
Was to Don't Come Again
And the bonnie wee lassie's answer was to
Don't Come Again

it being six months after,
Little or above,
When Cupid shot his arrow and wounded my true love

He wounded here severely for to cause her to complain
And she wrote to me a letter saying
Ya might come again
Saying Ya might come again
And she wrote to me a letter saying
Ya might come again

Well I wrote back her an answer
For to let her know
While life was in me body
T'was there I would nae go

While life was in me body,
And while it does remain
I would aye mind the girl who said
Don't Come Again
she said
Don't Come Again
Yes, I'd aye mind the girl who said
Don't Come Again

So come all ye pretty fair maids,
A warning take by me
Never slight a young man, wherever you may be
For if you do, you're sure to rue
And cause him to complain
And you'll aye rue the day you said
Don't Come Again
You said
Don't Come Again
Yes, you'll aye rue the day you said
Don't Come Again

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
