Westering Home Lyrics

Westering home with a song in the air
Light in me eye and its goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle o' my heart my own one

Tell me of lands of the Orient gay
Speak of the riches and joys of Cathay
Ah but it's grand to be waken at day
To find yourself nearer to Islay

Westering home with a song in the air
Light in me eye and its goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle o' my heart my own one

Where are the folk like the folk of the west
Canty and couthy and kindly, the best
There I would hie me and there I would rest
At home with my own folk in Islay

Westering home with a song in the air
Light in me eye and its goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle o' my heart my own one

Now I'm at home and at home I do lay
Dreaming of riches that come from Cathay
I'll board a good ship and I'll be on my way
And bring back my fortune to Islay

And it's westering home with a song in the air
Light in me eye and its goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle o' my heart my own one

Westering home with a song in the air
Light in me eye and its goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle o' my heart my own one
Westering home with a song in the air
Light in me eye and its goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle o' my heart my own one
Isle o' my heart my own one
