Fhear A Bhata (The Boatman)

How often haunting the highest hilltops
 I scan the ocean I sail tae sea
 Wilt come tonight love, wilt come tomorrow
 Wilt ever come love to comfort me?
 Fhear a bhata na horo eil'e
 Fhear a bhata na horo eil'e
 Fhear a bhata na horo eil'e
 O fare thee well love where e'er you be
 They call thee fickle they call thee false one
 And seek tae change me but all in vain
 For thou art my dream a through the dark night
 And every morning I watch the bay
 Fhear a bhata na horo eil'e
 Fhear a bhata na horo eil'e
 Fhear a bhata na horo eil'e
 O fare thee well love where e'er you be
 There's not a hamlet too well I know it
 Where you go wandering or set a while
 But all it's old folks you win wi' talking
 And charm it's maidens with song and smile
 Fhear a bhata na horo eil'e
 Fhear a bhata na horo eil'e
 Fhear a bhata na horo eil'e
 O fare thee well love where e'er you be
 Dost thou remember the promise made me
 The tartan plaidie the silken gown
 The ring of gold with thy hair and portrait?
 That gown and ring I will never know
 Fhear a bhata na horo eil'e
 Fhear a bhata na horo eil'e
 Fhear a bhata na horo eil'e
 O fare ye well love where e'er ye be
