Wee Francie
(Words & music © Pete MacGregor)

I'm up and I'm out and the sun shines bright
Will you come to the shore wi' me
Wake up! Jump up! Into your sark
And we'll run to the grey-green sea

Hey Wee Francie will you come along
Hey Wee Francie wi' me
Hey Wee Francie will you come
Along by the rolling sea

Follow me up through the grey-green woods,
Through the fields to the barren land
We'll come to the top of the high tall cliff
And down to the sea's wide strand

I'll give you a race on the silver sand,
Skim a stone on the grey-green wave
Catch a fish, light a fire, tak' a drink frae the burn
And we'll search for the witch in the cave.

Intae the sea and swim frae the land
An' racing back on a wave;
But a flick o' a foot and a swing o' an arm
And you'll rest in a grey-green grave.

Annie mourns for the boy wi' the grey-green eyes.
Annie mourns for the boy in the foam
Annie weeps for a while in the long dark night
Annie comes to the brothers' old home.
