This one is for my mother (who has been gone for years now). I grew up in a house where Celtic songs filled the air. Largely from my mother's Scottish upbringing. She would sing and without fail cry at the same time. Here is my attempt at recreating those sounds. I hope I did her proud.

V1
When I was a young lad my father said to me
Never give your heart me boy and you'll always will be free
But if you find a girl to love and her heart be true
Give her all your lovin and love will come to you

V2
When I was all but grown I set off for the sea
I never gave my heart so I would always be free
But then I met a girl with a heart true within
I gave her all my lovin and her lovin I did win

V3
Come the end of summer I got upon my knee
I gave her all my heart and her love it set me free
We kept warm all winter and a child she bore to me
There're many cold winters our children number three

V4
Now I tell my own son what my father said to me
Never give your heart me boy and you'll always will be free
But if you find a girl to love and her heart be true
Give her all your lovin and love will come to you
