I love my Jean by Henry Elliot Button — Lyrics
Of a’ the airts the wind can blaw,
I dearly like the west,
For there the bonnie lassie lives,
The lassie I lo’e best:
There wildwoods grow, and rivers row,
And mony a hill between;
Bait day and night my fancy’s flight
Is ever wi’ my Jean.

About I love my Jean
Perfect for a spring concert or a summer gathering, this charming partsong evokes the beauty of the countryside and the joy of love. Henry Elliot Button’s I love my Jean is a delightful setting of a well-known Scots poem that celebrates the enduring affection for a beloved lass. The text paints vivid pastoral scenes, from wild woods and rivers to dewy flowers and singing birds, all of which remind the singer of their cherished Jean. Button’s SATB arrangement captures this sentiment with warmth and lyricism, making it an ideal choice for secular choirs looking for engaging and melodious repertoire. The English text expresses a deep and personal devotion, a heartfelt ode to a singular muse.
