Karaoke Track: Sweet Afton by Nickel Creek (Priddis) - Karaoke Nerds

. . . Flow gently sweet Afton
among thy green braes
Flow gently I'll sing thee

a song in thy praise

My Mary's asleep
by thy murmuring stream
Flow gently sweet Afton

disturb not her dream

. . . Thou stock-dove

whose echo

resounds thro' the glen

Oh ye wild

whistling blackbirds
in yon thorny den
Thou green-crested lapwing

thy screaming forebear

Oh I charge you disturb not
my slumbering fair
Oh how lofty sweet Afton

thy neighboring hills

Far mark'd with the courses
of clear winding rills
There daily I wander

as noon rises high

Oh my flocks and

my Mary's sweet

cot in my eye

(8 Bar Instrumental Break)

. . . How pleasant thy banks

and green valleys below

Where wild in

the woodlands

the primroses blow

There oft as mild ev'ning

sweeps over the lea

The sweet scented

birk shades

my Mary and me

Oh thy crystal stream Afton

how lovely it glides

And winds by the cot where

my Mary resides

How wanton thy waters

her snowy feet lave

As gathering

sweet flow'rets

she stems thy clear wave

. . . Flow gently sweet Afton

among thy green braes

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
thy murmuring stream
80 flow gently sweet Afton

disturb not her dream
