- A love song for a change 🙂 A young man queries the path of true love many years ago..... in my home town ! Link to Mr Michael Hermiston`s relaxing cover of my song • I'll Take a Walk by Ji...
Words
A`ll tak a walk ower the toor`s green braes
the Forth valley will fill my gaze
tak ma time in the summer breeze
settle down by the big braw trees
What has become o this love o mine
how could I lose this thing sae fine
have I traded my gold for brass
an lost my bonnie darling lass
sat here on this summers day
idle thoughts to seaside they sway
the ships below at Kennet pans
setting sail for distant lands
for colliers hew and fermers plough
while I fret ower me and thou
an Jackdaws court in the toors old stanes
their hearts are light but mine is in pain
A`ll tak a walk ower the Toor`s green braes
the Forth valley will fill my gaze
tak ma time in the summer breeze
settle down by the big braw trees
Nice words...Rab.
Thank you Colin !! Jim :)
You never know what you've got till it's gone. Sad but true.
A lovely, melancholy song Jim
Aye too true , thank you for listening paul.
Great job as always.

I wish you peace & health ... Fons.
Big thanks Fons ! kind of you to visit and give a positive comment . best wishes to you.
A pondering walk and sweetest lovesong that makes me remember how you won that Burns' prize. I expect he is whispering in your ear, Jim. Michael did a fine tribute to your song.
You have a good memory Nancy :) Yes that was won nearly 60 years ago :) He might well be still whispering ! Thank you for listening to the whispers my friend .
I love your songs in Scottish(?) English. And that's a truly beautiful photo. Look at the trees covering the somewhat prison-looking buildings in the distance... such an image of loss and renewal all happening on the same land...(forgive my ignorance about architecture..but those windows look so tiny😅) I love how poets write about the hills and the land and use these things to express their suffering, and joy. I feel for these things and i feel for this song! Wonderful, Jim. Thanks so much for sharing your music!
Thank you Joo , you are very kind to comment on these songs of mine . Yes, the tower you see in the photo is where I sometimes played as a kid !! the song is focused on this green patch of land , the toor`s green braes ... ;)
Jim this was ace pal. What a writer, artist and performer you are.
I absolutely loved this one
Aw the best always
🙏🙏
Ross
Many thanks Ross , you are a gentleman :) best to you and yours.
I just listened to Michael's fantastic cover of your marvelous song, Jim ! ... so different from the original and both are amazzzing !!! Love the repetitive melody and the upbeat strumming !!!
Thank you Elisa, thank you for your upbeat comments as always !! have a great week.
a fine tune..a wee bit perky with great slightly obscure words that give a great sense of Scottish countryside
Thank you Michael, just perking along here waiting for summer to begin :)
Enjoyed reading along while listening Jim.
Thanks Darren, yes hope it makes a bit more sense reading along :)
Love the galloping tempo here Jim.
Thank you John , happy weekend !
You'd go down well in the National Eisteddfod (on this week in Pontypridd), if you'd sing it in Welsh! Maybe I'll translate your songs snd sing them next year, and pretend I'm a genius.
Sospan bach my friend ( whatever that means ! ) Yes Cwm you must do that next year :) be nice to hear the songs in Welsh .
🤣
A lovely thoughtful love song dear Jim. I hope the summer has treated you well and I wish you a gentle step into the new season ahead.:) A rare, but pleasant visit to your channel today:) Take care, Ali
Hello Ali, good to see you back to listen , Thank you as ever . Autumn approaches...but not yet :) maybe some sunny days to come . Hope you are well.
