The Loch Tay Boat Song
Liam Clancy
G
INTRO:
G Bm C G C G D G
VERSE 1:
Bm When I've done my work of day C G And I row my boat away C G Down the waters of Loch Tay D D7 As the evening light is fading G Bm And I gaze upon Ben Lawers C G Where the after glory glows C G And I think on two bright eyes D G And the melting mouth below
VERSE 2:
C G She's my beauteous nighean ruach C G My joy and sorrow too C G And if she prove untrue D Well, I cannot live without her G Bm For my heart's a boat in tow C G And I'd give the world to know C G Why she means to let me go D G As I sing hilee, hilo
INSTRUMENTAL:
G Bm C G C G D G
VERSE 3:
Bm Nighean ruach, your lovely hair C G Has more glamour, I declare C G Than all the tresses rare D D7 'Tween Killen and Aberfeldy G Bm Be they lint, white, brown or gold C G Be they blacker than the sloe C G They are no more worth to me D G Than a melting flake of snow
VERSE 4:
C G And her eyes are like the gleam C G Like the sunlight on the stream C G And the songs the faeries sing D Are like songs she sings at milking G Bm But my heart is full of woe C G For last night she bade me go C G And the tears begin to flow D G As I sing hilee, hilo
INSTRUMENTAL:
G Bm C G C G D D7 G Bm C G C G D G
VERSE 5:
C G Her eyes are like the gleam C G The sunlight on the stream C G And the songs the faeries sing D Are like songs she sings at milking G Bm But my heart is full of woe C G For last night she bade me go C G And the tears begin to flow D G As I sing hilee, hilo
