The Corries

Loch Tay Boat Song

by The Corries
The Corries

Biography:

The Corries were a Scottish folk group which emerged from the Scottish folk revival of the early 1960s. Although the group went through several changes of line-up in the early days, it was as the partnership of Roy Williamson (1936 - 1990) and Ronnie Browne that it is best known. The early 1970s were the Corries' finest hour.

In 1962, Roy Williamson teamed up with Bill Smith and Ron Cockburn to form the "Corrie Folk Trio". Their first performance was in the Waverley Bar in St Mary's Street, Edinburgh.

C Em F G C
When I've done my work of day and I row my boat away
Am F G C Am Dm G
Doon the waters o' Loch Tay as the evening light is fadin'
G7 C Em F G C
And I look upon Ben Lawers where the after glory glow
Am F G C Am Dm G C
And I dream on two bright eyes and the melting mouth below

F G C
She's my beauteous nighean ruach [nighean ruach = red-haired lass - pronounced neon roe]
Am F G C
She's my joy and sorrow too
Am F G C
And although she is untrue
Am Dm G
Ah, but I cannot live without her
G7 C Em
For my heart's a boat in tow
Am F G Em
And I'd give the world to know
Am F G C
Why she means to let me go
Am Dm G C
As I sing horee, horo

C Em F G C
Nighean ruach, your lovely hair has more glamour I declare
Am F G C Am Dm G
Than all the tresses rare from Killen to Aberfeldy
G7 C Em F G C
Be they lint, white, brown, or gold be they blacker than the sloe
Am F G C Am Dm G C
They have no more worth to me than a meltin flake o' snow

F G C
And her dance is like the gleam
Am F G C
O'er the sunlight on the stream
Am F G C
And the songs the faeries sing
Am Dm G
Seems like songs she sings at milkin'
G7 C Em
But my heart is full of woe
Am F G Em
For last night she bade me go
Am F G C
And the tears begin to flow
Am Dm G C
As I sing horee, horo
