Sing me a song of a la** that is gone Say, could that la** be I? Merry of soul she sailed on a day Over the sea to Skye Mull was astern, Rùm on the port, Eigg on the starboard bow Glory of youth glowed in her soul Where is that glory now? Sing me a song of a la** that is gone Say, could that la** be I? Merry of soul she sailed on a day Over the sea to Skye Give me again all that was there Give me the sun that shone Give me the eyes, give me the soul
Give me the la** that's gone Sing me a song of a la** that is gone Say, could that la** be I? Merry of soul she sailed on a day Over the sea to Skye Billow and breeze, islands and seas Mountains of rain and sun All that was good, all that was fair All that was me is gone Sing me a song of a la** that is gone Say, could that la** be I? Merry of soul she sailed on a day Over the sea to Skye
