Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hori Horo
Allo everybody. Eechlay in partic....

                   Tiree Love Song

Horee, Horo, my bonny wee lass
Horee, Horo, my fair one
Will ye come awa' wi' me
And be my ane, my rare one.

    Smiling the land, shining the sea
    Sweet is the smell o' the heather
    Would we were younger , you and me
    The two o' us together.

Horee etc
      
      All the day long, out on the peat
      Then on the shore in the gloaming
      Steppin' it lightly wi' dancin feet
      And then, together homing.

Horee etc

      Laughter above, singing below
      Tripping it lightsome and airy
      Would we be asking of life for more
      My own, my darling Mary.

Horee etc x2 and fade (if ya want!!)    :-)

                As performed by The McCalmans and me....

                     Regards to all ...Spot
