Back to Maid of Llangollen
MAID OF LLANGOLLEN. Scottish, Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The "Maid of Llangollen" was an English song (Llangollen is a Welsh name) dating at least back to the early decades of the 19th century.
Tho' lowly my lot and tho' poor my estate,
I see without envy the wealthy and great;
Contented an proud a poor shepherd to be,
While the maid of Llangollen smiles sweetly on me,
While the maid of Llangollen smiles sweetly on me.
