Burns Robert - Five Carlins слова песни

Five Carlins (Robert Burns)There was five carlins in the South,They fell upon a scheme,To send a lad to London town,To bring them tidings hame.Not only bring them tidings hame,But do their errands there;And aiblins gowd and honor baithMight be that laddie`s share.There was Maggie by the banks o Nith,A dame wi pride eneugh;And Marjorie o` the Monie Lochs,A carlin auld and teugh.And Blinkin Bess of Annandale,That dwelt near Solway-side;And Brandy Jean, that took her gill,In Galloway sae wide.And Black Joan, frae Crichton-Peel,0` gipsy kith an kin:Five wighter carlins were na foundThe South countrie within.To send a lad to London town,They met upon a day;And monie a knight, and monie a laird,This errand fain wad gae.0, monie a knight, and monie a laird,This errand ain wad gae;But nae ane could their fancy please,0, ne`er a ane but tway!The first ane was a belted Knight,Bred of a Border band;And he wad gae to London Town,Might nae man him withstand.And he wad do their errands weel,And meikle he wad say;And ilka ane at London courtWad bid to him Guid-day.The neist cam in a Soger youthAnd spak wi` modest grace;And he wad gang to London Town,If sae their pleasure wasHe wad na hecht them courtly gifts,Nor meikle speech pretend;But he wad hecht an honest heartWad ne`er desert his friend.-Now wham to chuse, and wham refuse,At strife thir Carlins fell;For some had Gentle Folk to please,And some wad please themsel.-Then up spak mim-mou`d Meg o`Nith,And she spak up wi`pride,And she wad send the Sodger-ladWhatever might betide.-For the Auld Gudeman o`London Court,She didna care a pin;But she wad send the Sodger-lad,To greet his eldest son.-Then started Bess of Annandale,A deadly aith she`s taen,That she wad vote the Border-knight,Tho` she should vote her lane.-`For far-off fowls hae feathers fair,`And fools o` change are fain;`But I hae try`d this Border-knight,`I`ll try him yet again.Says black Jan frae Crighton-peel,A Carlin stoor and grim;"The Auld Gudeman, or the Young Gudeman,For me may sink or swim.""For fools will prate o` Right and Wrang,While knaves laugh them to scorn;But the Solder`s friends hae blawn the best,So he shall bear the horn."Then Brandy Jean spak o`er her drink,Ye weel ken, kimmers a`,The Auld Gudeman o`. London Court,His back`s been at the wa`:And mony a friend that kiss`d his caup,Is now a fremit wight;But it`s ne`er be sae wi` Brandy Jean,We`ll send the Border-knight.`Then slaw rase Marjory o` the lochs,And wrinkled was her brow;Her ancient weed was russet-grey,Her auld Scots heart was true.-There`s some Great Folk set light by me,I set as light by them;But I will send to London townWhom I lo`e best at hame.`-So how this weighty plea may end,Nae mortal wight can tell:God grant the king, and ilka man,May look weel to themsel.-tune: Chevy Chase (269)filename[ FIVECRLNplay.exe FIVECRLNRG===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
