GUEST,Mick Pearce (MCP) Transcription help needed: Island Requiem (11) RE: Transcription help needed: Island Requiem 12 Mar 18


Here's a quick transcription. I'm on my way out of the house in minutes, so I haven't time to check it now, so I might have made some mistakes. (I was typing directly into this post; normally I'd write in a file and check it before posting). I'll check it later if noone does it in the meantime.

ISLAND REQUIEM

When I'm old and weary and longing to die
Carry me back to the isle o' Skye.
Lay me to sleep where the tall Coolins keep
Their watch o'er Isle O' Skye.

Far away in this isle o' the West
Only there will my spirit find rest
Long did I live there and gladly I'll die
Far in the Isle O' Skye

Carry me slowly where lone seagulls fly
Home to the sheilin' and there let me lie
Lay me to sleep where the mist softly creep
Over the isle O skye

And where I'll go to the Isles Of the Blessed
Leaving the isle that I always love best
Peace will be with me, forever i'll rest
Far in the Isle O' Skye
