Lyrics
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 upon Ben Lawers, where the after glory glows And I think on two bright eyes, and the melting mouth below She's my beauteous nighean ruadh, She's my joy and 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 trеsses rare, 'tween Killin and Aberfеldy Be they lint white, brown or gold, be they blacker than the sloe She's no more worth 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, as I sing ho-ree, ho-ro [Instrumental]
