G Bm C D G
When I've done the work of day and I row my boat away
Em C D G Em Am D
Down the waters of Loch Tay when the evening light is fallin'
D7 G Bm C D G
Then I look towards Ben Lawers where the afterglories glow
Em C D G Em Am D G
And I dream on two bright eyes with a merry mouth below
C D G
SheUs my beauteous nighean ruach [nighean ruach = red-haired lass]
Em C D G
She's my joy and sorrow too
Em C D G
Though I own she is not true
Em Am D
Ah, but I cannot live without her
D7 G Bm
For my heart's a boat in tow
Em C D Bm
And I'd give the world to know
Em C D G
If she means to let me go
Em Am D G
As she sings horee horo
G Bm C D G
Nighean ruach, your lovely hair has more beauty I declare
Em C D G Em Am D
Than all the tresses fair from Killen to Aberfeldy
D7 G Bm C D G
Be they lint, white, gold or brown, be they blacker than the sloe
Em C D G Em Am D G
They mean not as much to me as a meltin' flake of snow
C D G
And her dance is like the gleam
Em C D G
Of the sunlight on the stream
Em C D G
And the songs the wee folk sing
Em Am D
Ah, they're the songs she sings at milkin'
D7 G Bm
But my heart is full of woe
Em C D Bm
For last night she bade me go
Em C D G
And the tears begin to flow
Em Am D G
As I sing horee horo
