Like so many fables and folktales, this song is a cautionary story about succumbing to the glamour and romance of darkness. We knew we wanted to include a Scottish song in our new Harp Reflections album because while working on the album, we found out a new bit of our ancestry that had been lost to time. Our Aunt was recently doing ancestry research found that we had a line going directly back to Scotland! It seems that our Norwegian family tried to hide this Scottish heritage. Lol, x2 Our grandma’s great-grandfather was Charles Muir Campbell. Our aunt found copious amounts of history about Charles, including his own Wikipedia article, which had information about his personal friendship with Abraham Lincoln. We are wearing the Campbell clan colors (Black Watch) for our tam o’ shanters and scarves.

I have six ships sailing on the salt sea A-sailing from dry land And a hundred and twenty jolly young men Shall be at thy command She picked up her poor wee babe And kisses gave him three Saying stay right here with my house carpenter And keep him good company They had not been at sea two weeks I’m sure it was not three When this poor maid began to weep And she wept most bitterly O do you weep for your gold, he said Your house, your land, or your store? Or do you weep for your house carpenter Who you never shall see anymore? I do not weep for my gold, she said My house, my land, or my store But I do weep for my poor wee babe That I never shall see anymore They had not been at sea three weeks I’m sure it was not four When in their ship there sprang a leak And she sank to rise no more What hills, what hills are those, my love That are so bright and free? Those are the hills of Heaven, my love But they’re not for you and me What hills, what hills, are those, my love That are so dark and low? Those are the hills of Hell, my love Where you and I must go
