Fhear A Bhata (the Boatman) Lyrics - Singles - Silly Wizard

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 no horo eil'e 

fhear a bhata no horo eil'e 

fhear a bhata no horo eil'e 

oh 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 scan the sea 

fear a bhata no horo eil'e... 

there's not a hamlet too well i know it 

where you go wandering or set a while 

but all the old folks you win wi' talking 

and charm it's maidens with song and smile 

fhear a bhata no horo eil'e... 

do you 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 no horo eil'e...
