about

A song written by Davy about the love between his Father and Mother, Meg.

lyrics

The tiny snowdrop slowly rises,
Pushing through the frozen ground,
Her slender body pastel green,
Her young girl’s head, coyly bowed
Her petals wae their pale complexion,
Moistened by the morning mist,
The snowdrop is the maid of Spring,
I mind when Maggie wis like this

O a’ the flooers that grow around,
However colourful they be,
They’re pit tae shame when ma Maggie blooms,
She’s the rose o’ Summerlee

Though she wis just a workin’ lassie,
Wae neither frills nor pampered airs,
Her beauty was a natural thing,
No preened wae jewels or fancy claes
And as we walked wild summer places,
Where broom and iris grew sae braw,
Their brightness in her presence died,
Ma Maggie shone abune them a’

O a’ the flooers that grow around,
However colourful they be,
They’re pit tae shame when ma Maggie blooms,
She’s the rose o’ Summerlee
