I have funds tae buy me whiskey
Monie funds tae call my ain
But if I should get to fu for walkin
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
Highway Duggie 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
Highway Duggie would find me in the Isla Stream.
CHORUS
