Liam Clancy - The Loch Tay Boat Song




[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
