Loch Tay Boat Song |
When I’ve done my work of day |
And I row my boat away |
Doon the waters of Loch Tay |
As the evening light is fading |
And I look upon Ben Lawers |
Where the after glory glows; |
And I think on two bright eyes |
And the melting mouth below |
She’s my beauteous nighean ruadh |
She’s my joy and sorrow too; |
And although she is untrue |
Well I cannot live without her |
For my heart’s a boat in tow |
And I’d give the world to know |
Why she means to let me go |
As I sing horee horo |
Nighean ruadh, your lovely hair |
Has more glamour I declare |
Than all the tresses rare |
'tween Killin and Aberfeldy |
Be they lint white, brown or gold |
Be they blacker than the sloe |
They are worth no more to me |
Than the melting flake of snow |
Her eyes are like the gleam |
O' the sunlight on the stream; |
And the songs the fairies sing |
Seem like songs she sings at milking |
But my heart is full of woe |
For last night she bade me go |
And the tears begin to flow |
As I sing horee, horo |
She’s my beauteous nighean ruadh |
She’s my joy and sorrow too |
And although she is untrue |
Well I cannot live without her |
For my heart’s a boat in tow |
And I’d give the world to know |
Why she means to let me go |
As I sing horee horo |
