There is a bird in Cachel Wood

As silver as I've seen

With mystery as a maiden's bed

With mystery as a dream



I dream to find my own true love

An everlasting fire

I'm perishing when leaves decay

'T would be heart's desire



Follow the burn to the sea

How my poor heart weeps for thee

Weeps for thee



Then nature sent my own true love

When apple blossom fell

He sang beneath the mighty oak

And courted me so well



He spoke the pleasures of the flesh

Of married life to come

I loved a man in Cachel Wood

'T was then I was so done



Follow the burn to the sea

How my poor heart weeps for thee

Weeps for thee



Follow the burn to the sea

How my poor weeps for thee



The berries on the Rowan tree

With child and in full bloom

He'd proved to be a false young man

A most unworthy groom



A fish swims in the ocean deep

A bird lives in the sky

And fleetingly they intertwine

And fleetingly they sigh



Follow the burn to the sea

How my poor heart weeps for thee

Weeps for thee



Follow the burn to the sea

How my poor weeps for thee
