Tiree Love Song

Trad

Heree horo my bonnie wee girl
Heree horo my fair one
Will you come away my love
To be my own my rare one

Smiling the land, shining the sea
Sweet is the smell o’ the heather
Would we were younger you and me
The two of us together

Heree horo my bonnie wee girl
Heree horo my fair one
Will you come away my love
To be my own my rare one

All day long out at the peat
Then on the shore in the gloaming
Stepping it lightly with dancing feet
And then together homing

Heree horo my bonnie wee girl
Heree horo my fair one
Will you come away my love
To be my own my rare one

Laughter above, singing below
Tripping it lithesome and airy
Could we be asking of life for more
My own my darling Mary

Heree horo my bonnie wee girl
Heree horo my fair one
Will you come away my love
To be my own my rare one
