Song lyrics "Old,Old Castle In Scotland"

[lorrain...@gmail.com]

I just tried to google this song.
My Mom was a singer.She sang at Carnegie Hall in the late 1940's and was a member of the New York Chorale Club.
She also sang the song "There's an old old castle in Scotland.
She sang this song at my wedding in 1970.
I too wish I knew all the words.

I too have been looking for this song. My Mom used to sing this to use as a bedtime song and around the house. Here are the words i remember. May not be right but as close as i remember. Hope it helps. Charlie form Nova Scotia, Can.

There's an old old Castle in Scotland
And a strange love story it tells
Of a lassie who dwelled in that castle
and the lad who fell 'niegth her spell

When they met the bagpipes were playing
and a full moon shone overhead
it was heaven they spent there together
and they vowed come the morning they would wed

Now the story grow sad for the Lass she disappeared
and the lad he shed bitter tears
and the townspeople there said the castle has been there
for hundreds and hundreds of years.

Now the lad he still waits for his lassie
all alone in there Rendezvous
all alone in that haunted old castle
and he waits for the love he once knew

Our Family sang this song for years with slightly different lyrics:

“There’s an old, old castle in Scotland
With a strange love story to tell
Of a lassie who lived in the castle
And he laddie who loved her so well.

“When they met, the bagpipes were playing,
And a pale moon shone overhead.
It was heaven they found there together
And they vowed come the morning to wed.

“But my story grows queer*
For the Lassie disappeared.
Poor laddie he shed bitter tears.
The townspeople there say the castle has been bare
For hundreds and hundreds of years!”

“Now the lad still waits for his lassie,
All alone in their rendezvous.
By that Old Haunted Castle in Scotland
As he dreams of he love once he knew,
As he dreams of the love once he knew.”

*or weird

Now does anyone know the origin of this song? My folks taught it to all of us and I vaguely remember it may have come from a radio show or something. Tried googling the woes and turned up your posts but doesn’t seem to be an “auld Scottish Song”. Beautiful, haunting tune!
