Dance of the Seasons

This is a traditional tune of Buckland.

The water runs free, laddie, laddie,
Comes now Mistress Spring,
Lifting up her pretty flowered skirts
To dance in the stream.
Laddie, come sing now, come sing.

The water runs low, laddie, laddie,
Comes now Mistress Summer
With her skirts sky blue and grassy green,
To wander so slow.
Laddie, come sing now, come sing.

The water runs chill, laddie, laddie,
Comes now Mistress Autumn
Turning leaves to gold and scarlet flame,
As she wends her sweet will.
Laddie, come sing now, come sing.

The water stands still, laddie, sparkling
Jewels for Mistress Winter
With her bright skirts of snowy white,
Sweeping over the hill.
Laddie, come sing now, come sing.
