When I've done my work of day
And I row my boat away
Doon the waters o' Loch Tay
As the evening light is fading
And I look up on Ben Law'rs
Where the afterglory glows
And I think on two bright eyes
And the melting mouth below
She's my beauteous nighean ruadh
She's my joy, my sorrow too
And although she is untrue
Well I cannot live without her
For my heart's a boat in tow
And I'd give the world to know
Why she means to let me go
As I sing horee, horo
Nighean Ruadh, your lovely hair
Has more glamour I declare
Than all the tresses rare
'Tween Killin and Aberfeldy
Be they lint white, brown or gold
Be they blacker than the sloe
They are worth no more to me
Than the melting flake o' snow
Her eyes are like the gleam
O' the sunlight on the stream
And the song the fairies sing
Seems like songs she sings at milking
But my heart is full of woe
For last night she bade me go
And the tears begin to flow

An earthly nurse sits and sings
And aye she sings of lily-wean
Saying "Little ken I my bairn's father
Far less the land that he comes from"
So he came one night to her bed feet
And a grumbly guest I'm sure was he
Saying "Here am I thy bairn's father
Although I be not comely"
And he had taken a purse of gold
And he had placed it on her knee
Saying "Give to me my little young son
And take thee up thy nurse's fee
For I am a man upon the land
And I am a Silkie on the sea
And when I'm far and far from land
My home it is in Sule Skerry
For it shall come to pass on a summer's day
When the sun shines bright on every stone
I'll come and fetch my little young son
And teach him how to swim the foam
And ye shall marry a gunner good
And a right fine gunner I'm sure he'll be
And the very first shot that ever he shoots
Will kill both my young son and me
For I am a man upon the land
And I am a Silkie on the sea
And when I'm far and far from land

My young love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind
And she laid her hand on me
And this she did say
"Oh, it will not be long now
'Til our wedding day"
And she went away from me
And she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her
Move here and move there
And then she went onward
Just one star awake
Like a swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
Last night she came to me
My dead love came in
So softly she came
Her feet made no din
And she laid her hand on me
And this she did say
"Oh, it will not be long now

Oh I am come to the low country
Ochon ochon ochrie
Without a penny in my purse
To buy a meal to me
It wasna sae in the hieland hills
Ochon ochon ochrie
Nae woman in the country wide
Sae happy was as me
For then I had a score of kye
Ochon ochon ochrie
Feeding on yon hill sae high
And giving milk tae me
And then I had three score of yowes
Ochon ochon ochrie
Skipping on yon grassy knowles
And casting woo' tae me
I was the happiest of all the clan
Sair, sair may I repine
For Donald was the brawest man
And Donald he was mine
Til Charlie Stewart cam' at last
For to set us free
My Donald's arm was wanted then
For Scotland and for me
Their waefu' fate what need I tell
Right to the wrang did yield
My Donald and his country fell
Upon Culloden field
Ochon Oh Donald Oh
Ochon ochon ochrie
Nae woman in the world sae wide

Chorus:
Vair me o, ro van o
Vair me o, ro van ee
Vair me o, o ru o ho
Sad am I without thee
When I'm lonely, dear white heart
Black the night and wild the sea
By love's light my foot finds
The old pathway to thee.
Chorus
Thou'rt the music of my heart
Harp of joy, o cruit mo chridh
Moon of guidance by night
Strength and light thou'rt to me
