[ Featuring the Kingfishers ]
Oh Boatman, 's na ho ro eile
Oh Boatman, 's na ho ro eile
Oh Boatman, 's na ho ro eile
My best wishes go with you
Wherever you may be
My eyes search o'er the empty moor
Will ye no' come back tae me?
The sea has called you far from shore
Will ye no' come back tae me?
For the peat smoke plumes out from pillars of stone
Sending signals o warmth out tae thee
But alas the sun dims on my aching heart
Will ye no' come back tae me?
Will ye no' come back tae me?
For this life is hard on a highland soil
Will ye no' come back to me?
And the rain beats down on our work and toil
Will ye no' come back tae me?
For the lords of the south see no worth in the north
They order us far from our lee
But my love I will not leave until you return
Will you no' come back tae me?
Will ye no' come back tae me?
My eyes search o'er the empty moor
Will ye no' come back tae me?
And the sea has claimed you for its own
Will ye no' come back tae me?
Will ye no' come back tae me?
Will ye no' come back tae me?
