Rares Hill Lyrics - Mary Black

Last year at Lady Mary's fair when I was in Dundee 

I fell in with an old sweetheart and he being on a spree 

His company I did accept and with him I did go 

But to my sad misfortune it proved my poor 'through 

We wandered east we wandered west we wandered through the lawn 

He said he'd see me home that night but home I never saw 

He kept beside me all the while resolved to have his will 

And by and by we lost our way, at the back of Rare's Hill 

For when we got to Rare's Hill, the laddie said to me 

We can't go home tonight my dear, it's far to late you'll see 

But the night is warm and in my bush, I've got another drill 

And we can lie down here, content, at the back of Rare's Hill

For then he poured a nipper piece to quiet all alarm 

When I awoke in the morning we were locked in each other's arms 

He handed me the bottle, another glass to fill 

And I drank his heath, in store o'wealth, at the back of Rare's Hill 

And then the lad he said to me, "Oh lassie do not mourn" 

"For while I draw the breath of life from you I'll never harm" 

"If you will come to yonder town, my wedded wife you'll be" 

"we'll be the happiest couple t'was ever in Dundee"

Success to Lady Mary's fair, and the back of Rare's Hill.
