Rory chuckled at the reaction of both his niece and Rose to the food. ”They’ve got a ‘ealthy appetite.” He shook his head at her question of something wrong. ”No. I was jus’ admirin’ ye, beautiful.” He leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. He then grabbed his mandolin and started to strum on it, trying to settle on a song.
He smiled as he thought of the best song for her though he would change a few words.
” Here's a health to you, bonnie Kellswater
For its there you'll find the pleasures of life
And its there you'll find a fishing and farming
And a bonnie wee girl for your wife
On the hills and the glens and the valleys
Grows the softest of women so fine
And the flowers are all dripping with honey
There lives Mya, a true love of mine
Lovely Mya, you're the first girl I courted
You're the one put my heart in a snare
And if ever I should lose you to another
I will leave my Kellswater so fair
For this one and that one may court her
But no other can take her from me
For I love her as I love my Kellswater
Like the primrose is loved by the bee
Here's a health to you, bonnie Kellswater
For its there you'll find the pleasures of life
And its there you'll find a fishing and farming
And a bonnie wee girl for your wife”
He looked to see what she thought of his love song.
