Fairport Convention - Flowers Of The Forest Lyrics
I've heard them lilting
At our ewe-milking
And I've heard them lilting
Before light o' day
For all time lamenting
The flowers of the forest
Are all wede away
Sad they for the order
That sent them to the border
The English by guile
For once won the day
Now they are mourning
The flowers of the forest
Are all wede away
I've heard them lilting
At our ewe-milking
And I've heard them lilting
Before light a-day
Now they are mourning
For all time lamenting
The flowers of the forest
Are all wede away

Endlich habe ich das aufgenommene Lied von meiner alten Kassette aus meiner Jugendzeit gefunden; thank you.....
Almost overwhelmingly beautiful. Wonderful.
Powerful tune. However, Flowers of the Forest was not a bonus track but the last track on side B of the record.
This was played at Sandy Denny's funeral.
Because it is a lament.
Interesting how it's became played at funerals of the British Army members. It's originally an old Scottish Jacobite song lamenting the fall of the Jacobite's at the Battle of Flodden against the English. The Flowers of the Forest being the young Scottish soldiers.
Actualy its about the battle of flodden
Love this song... Always love hearing the bagpipes play it on Remembrance Day...
Beautiful track! Let's save the Jarrah Forest. Greetings to one and all from Jarrahnut in wonderful Western Australia.
