Westering home with a song in the air Light in the eye and its good by to care Laughter o' love and a welcoming there Isle of my heart, my own land
Tell me of lands of the Orient gay Speak of the riches that come from Cathay Ah but it's grand to be woken at day And find yourself nearer to Islay
Westering home with a song in the air Light in the eye and its good by to care Laughter o' love and a welcoming there Light of my heart, my own land
Where are the folk like the folk of the west Canty and couthy and kindly, the best There I would hie me and there I would rest At home with my own folk in Islay
Westering home with a song in the air Light in the eye and its good by to care Laughter o' love and a welcoming there Light of my heart, my own land
Now I'm at home and at home I do lay Dreaming of riches that come from Cathay I'll board a good ship and I'll be on my way And bring back my fortune to Islay
Westering home with a song in the air Light in the eye and its good by to care Laughter o' love and a welcoming there Light of my heart, my own land
Westering home with a song in the air Light in the eye and its good by to care Laughter o' love and a welcoming there Light of my heart, my own land
Westering home with a song in the air Light in the eye and its good by to care Laughter o' love and a welcoming there Light of my heart, my own land
Westering home with a song in the air Light in the eye and its good by to care Laughter o' love and a welcoming there Light of my heart, my own land Light of my heart, my own land.
