Westering home and 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 waken at day

And find oneself nearer to Islay



Westering home and 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 folks like the folks of the west

Canty and couthy and kindly, our best

There I would hie me and there I would rest

At home with my own folks in Islay



Westering home and 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 hop a good ship and be on my way

And bring back my fortune to Islay



Westering home and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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
