about

A traditional song, with a non-trad verse.

Melody - traditional
Lyrics - Trad. / Banks (2020)

lyrics

1. Let us haste to Kelvin Grove, bonnie lassie, O
Through its mazes let us rove, bonnie lassie, O
Where the rose in all her pride
Paints the hollow dingle side
Where the midnight fairies glide, bonnie lassie, O

2. The Kelvin banks are fair, bonnie lassie, O
When in summer we are there, bonnie lassie, O
And the may-pink’s crimson plume
throws a soft but sweet perfume
round the yellow banks of broom, bonnie lassie, O

3. Though I dare not call thee mine, bonnie lassie, O
As the smile of fortune’s thine, bonnie lassie, O
Yet with fortune on my side
I could stay thy father’s pride
And win thee for my bride, bonnie lassie, O

4. Under hipster coffee bars, bonnie lassie, O
Rumble Clockwork Orange cars, bonnie lassie, O
We wander academia’s walls
and museum’s airy halls
where the brewdog yelps and calls, bonnie lassie, O

5. Then farewell to Kelvin Grove, bonnie lassie, O
And adieu to all I love, bonnie lassie, O
To the river winding clear
To the fragrant scented briar
E’en to thee I hold most dear, bonnie lassie, O

6. When upon a foreign shore, bonnie lassie, O
Should I fall midst battle’s roar, bonnie lassie, O
Then, Helen, shoulds’t thou hear
Of thy lover on his bier
To his memory shed a tear, bonnie lassie, O

Poke O'Swedgers are Kev and Dave. Kev sings beautifully. Dave fumbles around with guitar. They write their own rhapsodies - delicate folk tales of impossible romance, computer programming and quantum physics. Their songs have a slight Scottish tang.
