No, "Aberlady Bay" is not the song I'm looking for. But now I can answer my own question. I found the lyrics, stored at my PC, I don't remember where I have the words from.
Seagull Cry
I would tend the flocks and waken in the morning with the dawning of the day. But time passes slowly as the heart so lowly southern island bay.
Seagull cry, cry the spirits of the sea, seagull cry, cry the spirits of my love for thee.
Fortune never came my way and yet it mattered not for I was young and free. Yet if I'd had this land I tae up and taen your hand though it's now too late for me.
I will sail my boat on courses charted by my own hand seeking one that's true. I will travel lonely for this journey solely without thought of you.
Foreign lands come in view and yet I turn the helm and run for open sea. Sad you be to know that I have found another southern island she.
Thanks Uwe Line breaks added. --JoeClone
