The Brampton Girl's Fear words H Falconer, tune Greenoaken In our green lonnin', a' the lang day It was at Lammas Jamie set sail In the owd ruin, aince was a kirk Aye to be faithful, faithful till death Wakin' at midnight, lonesome I weep In our green lonnin', a' the lang day Another poem from Falconer's Merrie Carlisle And Poems Of Tradition. It's set at the time of the second Jacobite uprising, and put in the mouth of a Brampton girl whose paramour has chosen to follow the Jacobite cause. Brampton has a significant place in the history of the uprising. Charles Stuart lodged there on his march to London, and there accepted the keys of Carlisle, which his forces had just occupied. We supplied a tune. |
