Song information
Artist: Andy M. Stewart Album: Songs Of Robert Burns
Lyrics
It was a' for our rightfu' king We left fair scotland's strand; It was a' for our rightfu' king We e'er saw irish land, my dear We e'er saw irish land
Now a' is done that men can do And a' is done in vain; My love and native land fareweel For I maun cross the main, my dear For I maun cross the main
He turn'd him right and round about Upon the irish shore; And gae his bridle reins a shake With adieu for evermore, my dear And adiue for evermore
The soger frae the wars returns The sailor frae the main; But I hae parted frae my love Never to meet again, my dear Never to meet again
When day is gane, and night is come And a' folk bound to sleep; I think on him that's far awa The lee-lang night, and weep, my dear The lee-lang night, and weep
