Corn Rigs Songtext
von Brocelïande

It was upon a Lammas night
When corn rigs are bonnie
Beneath the moon′s unclouded light
I held a way to Annie
The time flew by with tendless heed
'Til ′tween the late and the early
With small persuasion she agreed
To see me through the barley

Corn rigs and barley rigs
And corn rigs are bonnie
I'll ne'er forget that happy night
Among the rigs with Annie


The sky was blue, the wind was still
The moon was shining clearly
I set her down with right good will
Among the rigs of barley
I knew her heart was all my own
I loved her most sincerely
I kissed her over and over again
Among the rigs of barley

Corn rigs and barley rigs
And corn rigs are bonnie
I′ll ne′er forget that happy night
Among the rigs with Annie

I locked her in my fond embrace
Her heart was beating rarely
My blessings on that happy place
Among the rigs of barley

But why the moon and stars so bright
That shone that hour so clearly?
She'll always bless that happy night
Among the rigs of barley

Corn rigs and barley rigs
And corn rigs are bonnie
I′ll ne'er forget that happy night
Among the rigs with Annie


I have been blithe with comrades dear
I have been merry drinking
I have been joyful gathering gear
I have been happy thinking
Of all the pleasures e′er I saw
Though three times doubled fairly
That happy night was worth them all
Among the rigs of barley

Corn rigs and barley rigs
And corn rigs are bonnie
I'll ne′er forget that happy night
Among the rigs with Annie

Corn rigs and barley rigs
And corn rigs are bonnie
I'll ne'er forget that happy night
Among the rigs with Annie

Corn rigs and barley rigs
And corn rigs are bonnie
I′ll ne′er forget that happy night
Among the rigs with Annie
