Tour Scotland Video The Slave's Lament Robert Burns Song Burns Night Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of two young Scots singing a song by Robert Burns on Burns Night at the Taybank Pub on visit to Dunkeld, Highland Perthshire, Scotland. It is wonderful to see young Scots singing the songs of Robert Burns. In this video Laurie Cameron is the singer, accompanied by Hannah Fisher on violin. Well done the lasses.

The Slave's Lament.

It was in sweet Senegal that my foes did me enthral,
For the lands of Virginia,-ginia, O:
Torn from that lovely shore, and must never see it more;
And alas! I am weary, weary O:
Torn from that lovely shore, and must never see it more;
And alas! I am weary, weary O.

All on that charming coast is no bitter snow and frost,
Like the lands of Virginia,-ginia, O:
There streams for ever flow, and there flowers for ever blow,
And alas! I am weary, weary O:
There streams for ever flow, and there flowers for ever blow,
And alas! I am weary, weary O:

The burden I must bear, while the cruel scourge I fear,
In the lands of Virginia,-ginia, O;
And I think on friends most dear, with the bitter, bitter tear,
And alas! I am weary, weary O:
And I think on friends most dear, with the bitter, bitter tear,
And alas! I am weary, weary O:
