Flow Gently Sweet Afton Lyrics - Singles - John Mcdermott

Flow gently sweet afton : to barbara mcpherson 

Flow gently sweet afton among the green braes 

Flow gently I'll sing thee a song of thy praise 

My marys' asleep by the murmuring stream 

Flow gently sweet afton disturb not her dream 

Thou stock dove whose echo resounds thro' the glen 

Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den 

Thou greencrested lapwing thy screaming forbear 

I charge you disturb not my slumbering fair 

Thy crystal stream aftom how lovely it glides 

And winds by the cot where my mary resides 

How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave 

As gathering sweet flowerets she stems thy clear wave 

Flow gently sweet afton among thy green braes 

Flow gently sweet river the theme of my lays 

My mary's asleep by the murmuring stream 

Flow gently sweet afton disturb not her dream
