lyrics

How often hunting, the highest hilltops,
I scan the ocean, I sail tae sea,
Wilt come tonight love, wilt come tomorrow,
Wilt ever come love, tae comfort me.

Fhear a’ bhàta no horo eil'e,
Fhear a’ bhàta no horo eil'e,
Fhear a’ bhàta no horo eil'e,
Oh fare thee well love, where e'er ye be.

They call thee fickle, they call thee false one,
And seek tae change me, but all in vain,
For thou art my dream,
Yet through the dark night,
And every morning I watch the main.

There's not a hamlet, too well I know it,
Where you go wandering or set a while,
But all the old folk you win with talking,
And charm it's maidens with song and smile.

Dost thou remember the promise made me,
The tartan plaidie, the silken gown,
The ring of gold with thy hair and portrait,
That gown and ring I will never own.
