Dougie Maclean - It Was A' For Our Rightfu' King lyrics

It was a' for our rightfu' king We left fair scotland's strand It was a' for our rightfu' king That we e'er saw irish land my dear We e'er saw irish land Now a' is done that men can do And a' is done in vain My love my native land farewell For i maun cross the main my dear For i maun cross the main He turned him right an' round about Upon the irish shore An' ga'e his bridle reins a shake With adieu for evermore my dear With adieu for evermore The sodger frae the wars returns The sailor frae the main But i ha'e parted frae my love Never to meet again my dear Never to meet again When day is gone an' night is come An' a' folk bound to sleep I think on him that's far awa' The lee lang night and weep my dear The lee lang night and weep
