American Old Time Song Lyrics: 09 Roys Wife Of Aldivalloch
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 9
Roy's Wife of Aldivalloch.
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch,
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch,
Wat you how she cheated me.
As I came o'er the braes of Balloch ?
She vow'd, she swore she would be mine,
She said she lo'ed me best of any;
But, ah! the fause, the fickle queen.
She's ta'en the carle and left her Johnnie.
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch,
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch,
Wat you how she cheated me,
As I came o'er the braes of Balloch ?
Her hair's sae fair, her e'e sae clear.
Her wee bit mou's sae sweet and bonnie;
To me she ever will be dear,
Though she's for ever left her Johnnie.
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch,
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch,
Wat you how she cheated me,
As I came o'er the braes of Balloch?
But, oh! she was a canty queen,
And weel could dance the Highland wolloch;
How happy I, had she been mine.
Or I'd been Roy of Aldivalloch!
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch,
Roy's wife of Aldivalloch,
Wat you how she cheated me,
As 1 came o'er the braes of Balloch?
