"The Flower Of Inverness" lyrics

"The Flower Of Inverness"

She's lovely and she's charming and her beauty is disarming
She takes me very breath away I'm smitten I profess
Every Mother's son will soon have their hearts undone
For boys it's my intent to wed the Flower of Inverness

She's witty and she's frisky and as sweet as Highland whisky
Her lips are like red roses and as soft as morning dew
Her golden hair's still shining when the sun has gone declining
She's a lithesome and a bonnie lass with flashing eyes of blue

She's lovely and she's charming and her beauty is disarming
She takes me very breath away I'm smitten I profess
Every Mother's son will soon have their hearts undone
For boys it's my intent to wed the Flower of Inverness

'Twas in the purple heather when first we came together
I met her there by chance and I have never been the same
I've rambled 'round this nation and there's none above her station
The bonnie Highland lassie fairly sets me heart a-flame

She's lovely and she's charming and her beauty is disarming
She takes me very breath away I'm smitten I profess
Every Mother's son will soon have their hearts undone
For boys it's my intent to wed the Flower of Inverness

I will do my best endeavour just to be with her forever
For every hour without her seems eternity at best
Me heart is hers to own and it's only death alone
Could stop my heart from loving her, the Flower of Inverness

She's lovely and she's charming and her beauty is disarming
She takes me very breath away I'm smitten I profess
Every Mother's son will soon have their hearts undone
For boys it's my intent to wed the Flower of Inverness
