Lyrics
(Scottish folk song)
1. I left my baby lying here,
Lying here, lying here
I left my baby lying here
To go and gather blueberries.
Refrain
Hovan, hovan gorry o go, gorry o go, sorry o go,
Hovan, hovan gorry o go, I’ve lost my darling baby o.
2. I found the wee brown otter’s track
Otter’s track, otter’s track
I found the wee brown otter’s track
But ne’er a trace o’ my baby, O! Refrain
3. I found the track of the swan on the lake
Swan on the lake, swan on the lake
I found the track of the swan on the lake
But not the track of baby, O! Refrain
4. I found the trail of the mountain mist
Mountain mist, mountain mist
I found the trail of the mountain mist
But ne’er a trace of baby, O! Refrain

memories of grade 5, 1961, Forest Grove, BC, with Mrs McCloud.
That’s so fun! 🙂
