Westering Home
|[Chorus]
|D
|Westering home, and a song in the air,
|G Bm G A
|Light in the eye and it's goodbye to care.
|D Bm
|Laughter o' love, and a welcoming there,
|G A D
|Isle of my heart, my own one.
D A
Tell me o' lands o' the Orient gay,
G Bm G A
Speak o' the riches and joys o' Cathay;
D A
Eh, but it's grand to be wakin' ilk day
Bm A D
To find yourself nearer to Islay.
[Chorus]
D A
Where are the folk like the folk o' the west?
G Bm G A
Canty and couthy and kindly, the best
D A
There I would hie me and there I would rest
Bm A D
At hame wi' my ain folk in Islay.
[Chorus]
D A
Now I'm at home and at home I do lay
G Bm G A
Dreaming of riches that come from Cathay
D A
I'll hop a good ship and be on my way
Bm A D
And bring back my fortune to Islay
[Chorus]
