West Of Roan - Our RIghtful King
That we left fair Scotland's strand
It was all for our rightful king
We e'er saw Irish land, my dear
That we e'er saw Irish land
Now all is done that men can do
And all is done in vain
My love, my native land, farewell
For I maun cross the main, my dear
For I maun cross the main
He turned him right and round about
Upon the Irish shore
He gave his bridle-reins a shake
With adieu for evermore, my dear
With adieu for evermore
The soldier from the war returns
And the merchant from the main
But I have parted from my love
Never to meet again, my dear
Never to meet again
When day is gone and night is come
And all folk bound to sleep
I think on him that's far away
The lee-lang night, and weep, my dear
The lee-lang night, and weep
