Westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o love and a welcoming there
Isle of my heart my own land
Tell me of lands of the Orient gay
Speak of the riches that come from Cathay
Ah but it's grand to be waken at day
And find oneself nearer to Islay
Westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o love and a welcoming there
Light of my heart my own land
Where are the folks like the folks of the west
Canty and couthy and kindly, our best
There I would hie me and there I would rest
At home with my own folks in Islay
Westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o love and a welcoming there
Light of my heart my own land
Now I'm at home and at home I do lay
Dreaming of riches that come from Cathay
I'll hop a good ship and be on my way
And bring back my fortune to Islay
Westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o love and a welcoming there
Light of my heart my own land
Westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o love and a welcoming there
Light of my heart my own land
Westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o love and a welcoming there
Light of my heart my own land
Westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o love and a welcoming there
Light of my heart my own land
Light of my heart my own land
