FULL LYRICS FOR FAIRYTALE OF STORNOWAY Was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunk tank An old man said to me, I won’t see another one And then he sang a song, by Donnie Dotaman I turned my face away, and dreamed about you Got on a lucky one, came in eighteen to one I’ve got a feeling, that this year’s for me and you So happy Christmas, I love you baby Can’t see a better time, when all our dreams come true They’ve got cars big as bars, They’ve got rivers of gold When the wind goes right through you, like it does in Cromore When you first took my hand, on a cold Christmas Eve You promised me ‘Broadbay’ was waiting for me You were handsome, You were pretty, Queen of Stornoway City When the band finished playing, they cried out for more The Blones they were swinging, old Bodachs were singing We kissed on the corner, then danced through the night And the boys of the SY Village Byre, were singing "Eilean Fraoich" And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day Tha thusa làn Cac, Tha thusa làn Guga Tha mise dol dhachaigh gu Eilean mo ghràidh You Radan, you Meppan, you Cailleach, you Bleggard Tha do Thoin fleeking salach, I’m off to my bed I could have been someone, well so could anyone You took my sheep from me, when I first found you I kept them with me babe, I put them with my own Can’t make it all alone, I’ve built my flock around you
