| The Loch Tay Boat Song | Asonance

                  C                Emi Ami
    1. When I've done the work of day
              F        Dmi   Emi Ami
       and I rowed my boat away
                 F     G        Emi Ami
       down the waters of Loch Tay
                D                 G
       when the evening light is falling
               C               Emi  Ami
       then I look toward Ben Lawers
                 F       Dmi     Emi Ami
       where the after glories glow
               F        G        Emi Ami
       and I dream of two bright eyes
               Dmi   G       C
       with a merry mouth below
                 F         Dmi     Emi Ami
       she's my beauteous nighean ruadh
                 F       Dmi    Emi Ami
       she's my joy and sorrow too
                F       Dmi      Emi Ami
       though I own she is not true
                 D              G
       oh but I cannot live without her
               C                 Emi Ami
       for my heart's a boat in tow
                F        Dmi       Emi Ami
       and I'd give the world to know
               F        G      Emi Ami
       if she means to let me go
             Dmi    G    C
       as I sing hori horo.

    2. Nighean ruadh I do declare
       there's more beauty in your hair
       than all the tresses fair
       from Killin to Aberfeldy
       be they lint-white gold or brown
       be they blacker than the sloe
       they mean not as much to me
       as a melting flake of snow
       and her dance is like the gleam
       of the sunlight on the stream
       and the songs that we folk sing
       oh they're the songs she sings at milking
       but my heart is full of woe
       for last night she bade me go
       and the tears begin to flow
       as I sing hori horo.
