Lyrics of Where helen lies

Where helen lies
(robert burns)
O that i were where helen lies,
Night and day on me she cries;
O that i were where helen lies
In fair kirkconnel lee.
O helen fair beyond compare,
A ringlet of thy flowing hair,
I'll wear it still for ever mair
Until the day i die.
Curs'd be the hand that shot the shot.
And curs'd the gun that gave the crack!
Into my arms bird helen lap,
And died for sake o me!
O think na ye but my heart was sair;
My love fell down and spake nae mair;
There did she swoon wi meikle care
On fair kirkconnel lee.
I lighted down, my sword did draw,
I cutted him in pieces sma';
I cutted him in pieces sma'
On fair kirkconnel lee.
O helen chaste, thou wert modest,
If i were with thee i were blest
Where thou lies low and takes thy rest
On fair kirkconnel lee.
I wish my grave was growing green,
A winding sheet put o'er my e'en,
And i in helen's arms lying
In fair kirkconnel lee!
I wish i were where helen lies!
Night and day on me she cries:
O that i were where helen lies
On fair kirkconnel lee.
