Kellswater |
| Here’s a health to you bonny Kellswater |
| Where you get all the pleasures of life |
| Where you get all the fishing and fowling |
| And a bonny wee lass for your wife. |
| Oh it’s down where yon waters run muddy |
| I’m afraid they will never run clear |
| And it’s when I begin for to study |
| My mind is on him that’s not here. |
| And it’s this one and that one may court him |
| But if any one gets him but me It’s early and late I will curse them |
| The parting lovely Willie from me. |
| Oh a father he calls on his daughter |
| Two choices I’ll give unto thee |
| Would you rather see Willie’s ship a sailing |
| See him hung like a dog on yonder tree. |
| Oh father, dear father, I love him |
| I can no longer bide it from thee |
| Through an acre of fire I would travel |
