It was a' for our rightfu' king
We left fair Scotland 's strand
It was a' for our rightfu' king
We e'er saw Irish land, my dear
We e'er saw Irish land
Now a' is done that men can do
And a' is done in vain
My love, my native land, farewell
For I maun cross the main, my dear
the sailor frae the main
But I ha'e parted frae my love
Never to meet again, my dear
Never to meet again
When day is gone, an' night is come
An' a' folk bound to sleep
I think on him that's far awa'
The lee-lang night and weep, my dear
The lee-lang night and weep
We left fair Scotland 's strand
It was a' for our rightfu' king
We e'er saw Irish land, my dear
We e'er saw Irish land
Now a' is done that men can do
And a' is done in vain
My love, my native land, farewell
For I maun cross the main, my dear
the sailor frae the main
But I ha'e parted frae my love
Never to meet again, my dear
Never to meet again
When day is gone, an' night is come
An' a' folk bound to sleep
I think on him that's far awa'
The lee-lang night and weep, my dear
The lee-lang night and weep
