[00:12.57]Here's a health to you bonny Kellswater
[00:18.60]Where you get all the pleasures of life
[00:25.11]Where you get all the fishing and fowling
[00:31.74]And a bonny wee lass for your wife.
[00:37.58]
[00:38.17]Oh it's down where yon waters run muddy
[00:44.43]I'm afraid they will never run clear
[00:50.87]And it's when I begin for to study
[00:57.31]My mind is on him that's not here.
[01:02.55]
[01:03.63]And it's this one and that one may court him
[01:09.83]But if any one gets him but me
[01:16.05]It's early and late I will curse them
[01:22.48]The parting lovely Willie from me.
[01:28.07]
[01:28.71]Oh a father he calls on his daughter
[01:34.79]Two choices I'll give unto thee
[01:41.17]Would you rather see Willie's ship a'sailing
[01:47.39]See him hung like a dog on yonder tree.
[01:52.98]
[02:06.03]Oh father, dear father, I love him
[02:12.11]I can no longer hide it from thee
[02:18.30]Through an acre of fire I would travel
[02:24.56]Along with the lovely Willie to be.
[02:30.12]
[02:30.77]Oh hard was the heartbreak I'm finding
[02:36.84]She took from her full heart's delight
[02:43.33]May the chains of old Ireland come find them
[02:49.97]And softly their pillows at night.
[02:55.74]
[02:56.57]Oh yonder there's a ship on the ocean
[03:02.19]And she does not know which way to steer
[03:08.77]From the east and the west she's a'blowing
[03:14.69]She reminds me of the charms of my dear.
[03:20.60]
[03:21.26]Oh it's yonder my Willie will be coming
[03:26.91]He said he'd be here in the spring
[03:33.45]And it's down by yon green shades I'll meet him
[03:39.92]And among wild roses we'll sing.
[03:45.68]
[03:46.34]For a gold ring he placed on my finger
[03:52.48]Saying love hear this in your mind
[03:58.99]If ever I sail from old Ireland
[04:05.42]You'll mind I'll not leave you behind.
[04:12.58]
[04:24.05]Here's a health to you bonny Kellswater
[04:30.11]Where you get all the pleasures of life
[04:36.27]Where you get all the fishing and fowling
[04:42.65]And a bonny wee lass for your wife.
