Oh! Campbeltown Loch, Ah wish ye were whisky! Campbeltown Loch, Och Aye! Campbeltown Loch, I wish ye were whisky! Ah wid drink ye dry.
Now Campbeltown Loch is a beautiful place, But the price of the whisky is grim. How nice it would be if the whisky was free And the Loch was filled up to the brim.
Oh! Campbeltown Loch, Ah wish ye were whisky! Campbeltown Loch, Och Aye! Campbeltown Loch, I wish ye were whisky! Ah wid drink ye dry.
I'd buy a yacht with the money I've got And I'd anchor it out in the bay. If I wanted a nip I'd go in for a dip I'd be swimmin' by night and by day.
Oh! Campbeltown Loch, Ah wish ye were whisky! Campbeltown Loch, Och Aye! Campbeltown Loch, I wish ye were whisky! Ah wid drink ye dry.
We'd have a gathering of the clans They'd come from near and far I can see them grin as they're wading in And shouting "Slàinte mhòr!".
Oh! Campbeltown Loch, Ah wish ye were whisky! Campbeltown Loch, Och Aye! Campbeltown Loch, I wish ye were whisky! Ah wid drink ye dry.
But what if the boat should overturn And drowned in the Loch was I? You'd hear me shout, you'd hear me call out "What a wonderful way to die !"
Oh! Campbeltown Loch, Ah wish ye were whisky! Campbeltown Loch, Och Aye! Campbeltown Loch, I wish ye were whisky! Ah wid drink ye dry.
But what's this I see, ochone for me It's a vision to make your blood freeze. It's the police afloat in a dirty big boat And they're shouting: "Time, gentlemen, please!"
