About the Artist
Lyrics
Dark was the morn and black the sea When my dear laddie left me The swelling sails how swift they flee Of all my joy bereft me! Methinks I see him take his stand On deck so firm and steady; And distant when he wav'd his hand I knew his tartan plaidy Alas! how heavy are the days In absence and in sorrow While war and death a thousand ways Still make me dread tomorrow O that ambition were at rest While I, the captain's lady Should with my soldier be so blest All gay in tartan plaidy!
