Westering Home

by The McCalmans

on Songs From Scotland (1991)

Westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle of my heart my own one

And it's westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle of my heart my own one

Tell me o' lands of the Orient gay
Speak of the riches and toys of Cathay
Ah, but it's grand to be wakin' each day
To find yourself nearer to Islay

Westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle of my heart my own one

Where are the folk like the folk o' the west
Canty and couthy and kindly, the best
There I would hie me and there I would rest
At hame with my ain folk in Islay

Westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle of my heart my own one

Westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle of my heart my own one
Isle of my heart my own one
