The Isla Waters

I have funds tae buy me whiskey

Monie funds tae call my ain

But if I should get to fu' o' water

Wha's the man that would carry me hame?

CHORUS: And if I be dround in the Isla Waters

Hou the deuce would I win Hame?

If I be drounk in the Isla Waters

My wee doggie would find me in the Isla stream.

Ilka day I cross that water

Aye she's brackent wi' the sea

But if there is o' ale-hous laughter

Daurk an' still she waits on me. CHORUS

Like the fisher's line that's brawken

Leaves the salmon tae the swell

Monie's the nicht ye'll fan' me souken

But ye brak the line yersel. CHORUS

Aa' my days I've lived the quarter

Baud and bonnie fine stuff I've seen

But should I droun in your water

My wee doggie would find me in the Isla Stream. CHORUS
