A red red rose

This is a love song written by Robert Burns. We send it in loving memory of Katie and for David and Oscar.

 

O, my love is like a red,red, rose, that's newly sprung in June,

O, my love is like the melody, that's sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, so deep in love am I,

And I will love thee still, my dear, till all the seas gang dry.

 

Till all the seas gang dry, my dear, and rocks melt with the sun.

And I will love thee still, my dear, while the sands of life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only love, and fare thee well a while.

And I will come again ,my love, tho' it were ten thousand mile.

 

The song has a lovely tune. As kids I am afraid the we sang the first line as -

"My love has got a big red nose" which I am sure Katie would have liked.

 

From David's Mum and Dad,  - Granny and Grandpa Watson
