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 |
