Lyrics from the album
Fàilte gu fearann air balaich an iasgaich 'G iomradh 's a tarraing 's a gearradh a'bhiathaidh Coma leam leabaidh no cadal no biadh Gu faigh mi mo lìon an òrdugh
Siud agaibh na balaich a sheasadh an cruadal Sìnt' air a bhallaist gun phealaig mun uachdar Còignear no seisear 's an lethcheann air cluasaig Ulpagan cruaidhe Cheòsain
Bàtaichean Gallach a gearradh an t-sìobain Beatadh gu cala an agaidh sruthlìonaidh Bàtaichean biorach aig Nisich is Siaraich Fada mun iar air Rònaidh
B'fheàrr leam an leabaidh na gàbhadh nan tonn Is plaide mo mhàthar 's mo làmh fo mo cheann B'fheàrr na bhith lathadh fo fhasgadh nan crann 'G èisteachd ri srann nan ròpan
Fàilte gu fearann air balaich an iasgaich W 'G iomradh 's a tarraing 's a gearradh a'bhiathaidh Coma leam leabaidh no cadal no biadh Gu faigh mi mo lìon an òrdugh
