Dougie Maclean - Loch Tay Boat Song lyrics

When i've done my work o' day And i row my boat away Doon the waters of loch tay As the evening sun is failing And i look in to ben lawers Where the after glory glows And i dream of two bright eyes Wi' the merry mouth below She's my beauteous nighean ruadh She's my joy and sorrow too But i fear she is not true And i cannot live without her But my heart's a boat in tow For i'd give the world to know If she means to let me go As i sing horee horo Nighean ruadh your lovely hair Has more beauty i declare Than all the tresses fair From k**ing tae aberfeldy Be they milk white grey or brown Be they blacker than the sloe They are no more use to me As the melting flakes of snow Oh your smile is like the gleam Of the sunlight on the stream Like the fairy songs they sing Are the songs you sing at milking But my heart is full of woe For last night she bade me go Now me tears will only flow As i sing horee horo
