GUEST,Mick Pearce (MCP) Transcription help needed: Island Requiem (11) RE: Transcription help needed: Island Requiem 13 Mar 18


I've had another listen and it looks ok, except for a couple of typos:

In l11: mist should be mists

In l13: where should be when.

Blessed is pronounced to rhyme with best

Mick




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 mists softly creep
Over the Isle o' Skye

  And when 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
