Banks Of Sweet Dundee Pt. 1 Lyrics - Wolf People

A simple farmers daughter, so beautiful I'm told 

Her parents died and left her with 500 pounds in gold 

She lived with her uncle, the source of all her woe 

As you will hear, this maiden dear did prove his overthrow 

Her uncle had a plowboy whom Mary loved full well 

'Twas in her uncle's garden their tales of love did tell 

There was a wealthy squire who oft came her to see 

But still she loved her plowboy 

On the banks of Sweet Dundee 

Her uncle rose one morning and then went straightaway 

And knocked at her bedroom door, 

And to her thus did say 

"Arise up, fair maiden, for lady you shall be 

For the Squire's waiting for you 

On the banks of Sweet Dundee" 

"A Fig for all you squires 

Your lords and dukes likewise 

My William's hands appear to me 

Like diamonds in my eyes"
