| Video Discription | “Twa recruitin ‘sergeants” is a traditional Scottish song about joining the army. The origin of the song dates back to 1700 and was popular again in the 1960s with Jeannie Robertson’s version. A.L. Lloyd pointed out that Farquhar’s play, ‘The Recruiting Officer’ (1706) helped popularise ‘Over the Hills and Far Away’. The song was often sung during the Napoleonic Wars. It ‘survived for two and a half centuries among folk singers, dwindling all the time, till it seemed to be limited to the Scottish north-east’. Then a variant came back into ‘vigorous circulation in English cities under the title “Two Recruiting Sergeants from the Black Watch” English Lyrics: Two recruiting sergeants came from the Black Watch To markets and fairs, some recruits for to catch. But all that they enlisted was forty and two: Enlist my handsome boy and come away. Chorus: And it’s over the mountain and over the Main, Through Gibraltar, to France and Spain(1). Pit a feather to your cap (2), and a kilt above your knee, Enlist my handsome boy and come away with me. II Oh boy you don’t knew the danger that you are in. If your horses was to take fright, and your oxen was to run,(3) This greedy old farmer, he would not pay your fee. So list my handsome boy and come away with me III(4) With your boiled potatoes(5) and your oatmeal(6) and cabbage(7), Your jellied oatmeal (8) and your ill-brewed ale, Your buttermilk(9), your whey(10), and your bread fired raw. So list my handsome boy and come away. IV And its into the barn and out of the byre, This old farmer, he thinks you never tire. It’s slavery all your life, a life of low degree. So list my handsome boy and come away with me V O boy if you have got a sweetheart and a child, You’ll easily get rid of that ill-spun yarn(11). Two rattles of the drum(12), yes and that’ll pay it all So list my handsome boy and come away My apologies for 2:34.. not quite sure what happened there 91HCgtlzF3c |
