The Isla Waters Lyrics - Silly Wizard

I have funds tae buy me whiskey 

Monie funds tae call my ain 

But if I should get to fu' o' water 

Wha's the man that would carry me hame? 

CHORUS: And if I be drunk in the Isla Waters 

Hou the deuce would I win Hame? 

If I be drunk in the Isla Waters 

My wee doggie would find me in the Isla stream. 

Ilka day I cross that water 

Aye she's bricht and clear tae see 

But after hours o' ale-hous laughter 

Daurk an' still she waits on me. CHORUS 

Like the fisher's line that's broken 

Cleaves the salmon tae the swell 

Monie's the nicht ye'll find me souken 

But ye brak the line yersel. CHORUS
