Loreena Mckennitt - Kellswater Lyrics

Kellswater Lyrics[Verse 1]
Here's a health to you bonny Kellswater
Where you get all the pleasures of life
Where you get all the fishing and fowling
And a bonny wee lass for your wife

[Verse 2]
Oh it's down where yon waters run muddy
I'm afraid they will never run clear
And it's when I begin for to study
My mind is on him that's not here
[Verse 3]
And it's this one and that one may court him
But if any one gets him but me
It's early and late I will curse them
The parting lovely Willy from me

[Verse 4]
Oh a father he calls on his daughter
Two choices I'll give unto thee
Would you rather see Willie's ship a sailing
See him hung like a dog on yonder tree

[Verse 5]
Oh father, dear father, I love him
I can no longer hide it from thee
Through an acre of fire I would travel
Along with the lovely Willie to be

[Verse 6]
Oh hard was the heartbreak I'm finding
She took from her full heart's delight
May the chains of old Ireland come find them
And softly their pillows at night

[Verse 7]
Oh yonder there's a ship on the ocean
And she does not know which way to steer
From the east and the west she's a blowing
She reminds me of the charms of my dear
You might also like[Verse 8]
Oh it's yonder my Willie will be coming
He said he'd be here in the spring
And it's down by yon green shades I'll meet him
And among wild roses we'll sing

[Verse 9]
For a gold ring he placed on my finger
Saying love bear this in your mind
If ever I sail from old Ireland
You'll mind I'll not leave you behind

[Verse 1]
Here's a health to you bonny Kellswater
Where you get all the pleasures of life
Where you get all the fishing and fowling
And a bonny wee lass for your wife
