    weel meet again together
    I'll be at the Lamas fair she replied among the heather.
    IIIIII
    The Lamas fair came on and the crowd began to gather
    There were lads and lassies there making love to one and other
    But my heart was in a flame when my love I did discover
    And she smiled at me the same as [?] did among the heather.
    IIIIIII
    With her I spent the day and right we wee did enjoy it
    Wee talked of married life and agreed that we would try it
    But no peace of mind I found till I made my own for ever
    The sweetest flower that ever bloomed among the Glenfin Heather.
