It Was All for Our Rightful King
It was all for oor rightful king we left fair Scotland's strand
It was all for oor rightful king we e'er saw Irish land
We e'er saw Irish land
Noo a' is done that men can dae and a' is done in vain
My love my native land fareweel for I maun cross the main
For I maun cross the main
He's turned him right and roond aboot upon the Irish shore
He's gied his bridle reins a shake wi' adieu for ever more
Adieu for ever more
The soldier frae the wars returns the sailor frae the main
But I hae perted frae my love nae mair tae meet again
Nae mair tae meet again
When day is gane and night is come and a' fowk gang tae sleep
I think on him that's far awa' the lee lang nicht and weep
The lee lang nicht and weep
It was all for oor rightful king we e'er saw Irish land
We e'er saw Irish land
Noo a' is done that men can dae and a' is done in vain
My love my native land fareweel for I maun cross the main
For I maun cross the main
He's turned him right and roond aboot upon the Irish shore
He's gied his bridle reins a shake wi' adieu for ever more
Adieu for ever more
The soldier frae the wars returns the sailor frae the main
But I hae perted frae my love nae mair tae meet again
Nae mair tae meet again
When day is gane and night is come and a' fowk gang tae sleep
I think on him that's far awa' the lee lang nicht and weep
The lee lang nicht and weep
