Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on a wing. Onward the sailor's cry. Carry the lad that's born to be king. Over the sea to Skye. . Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep.
It's not the glow you feel, when snow appears. It's not the Christmas card you've sent for years. Not the joyful sound when Sleigh bells ring. Or the merry songs children sing.
The pale moon was rising above the green mountain,. The sun was declining beneath the blue sea;. When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain,.
Of all the money that er'e I spent. I spent it ingood company. And all the harm that ere I've done. Alas it was to none but me. And all I have done. For want of wit.
The tears have all been shed now. We've said our last goodbyes. His souls been blessed. He's laid to rest. And it's now I feel alone. He was more than just a father.
Lonely I wander through scenes of my childhood. They bring back to memory the happy days of yore. Gone are the old folk, the house stands deserted. No light in the window, no welcome at the door.
Oh mary this london's a wonderful sight. With the people here working by day and by night. They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat. But there's gangs of them that's what I've been told.
The minstrel boy to the war is gone,. In the ranks of death you'll find him;. His fathers sword he has girded on,. And his wild harp slung behind him..
There is not in the wild world a valley so sweet,. As the vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet;. Oh! the last rays of feeling and life must depart,.
(chorus). O cruel is the snow. That sweeps glencoe. And covers the grave o donald. And cruel was the foe. That raped glencoe. And murderd the house of.
Time and time again I am asked the same questions:. "John where did you study?". "Are you professionally trained?". "Is it difficult to stay in voice?".

The lark in the clear air : to my sister margaret. . Dear thoughts are in my mind. And my soul soars enchanted. As I hear the sweet lark sing. In the clear air of the day.
The holly and the ivy when they are both full grown. Of all the trees that are in the wood, the holly bears the crown. . The rising of the sun and the running of the deer.
The harp that once : to oombayga and family. . The harp that once through tara's halls. The soul of music shed. Now hangs as mute on tara's walls. As if that soul were fled.
There is a voice in the silence. A voice ever calling. A voice like the song of a far distant sea. A music the soul. Of the wild breakers roaring. If floats like a dream.
How do you do young willie mcbride,. Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside,. And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun,. I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done.
By a lonely prison wall. I heard a young girl calling,. 'michael, they are taking you away.. For you stole travelyns corn,. So the young might see the morn,.
My brave lad sleeps in his faded coat of blue;. In a lonely grave unknown lies the heart that beat so true. He sank faint and hungry among the famish'd brave.
The Dutchman's not the kind of man. To keep his thumb jammed in the dam. That holds his dreams in. But that's a secret only Margaret knows. . When Amsterdam is golden in the morning.
