Thread Name: Lyr ADD: There is an Isle
Subject: ADD: There is an Isle
Here's my transcription of a performance by Frankie Flynn:
THERE IS AN ISLE

There is an isle (repeat)
A bonnie isle (repeat)
Stands proudly from
Stands proudly from the sea
And dearer far (repeat)
In all this world (repeat)
Is that dear isle
Is that dear isle to me
It is not that alone it stands (alone it stands)
While all around is fresh and fair (is fresh and fair)
But because, it is my native land
And my home, my home is there
But because, it is my native land
And my home, my home is there

Farewell, farewell (repeat)
Though lands may meet (repeat)
May meet my gaze
My gaze where e'er I roam
I shall not find (repeat)
A spot so fair (repeat)
As that dear isle
As that dear isle to me
It is not that alone it stands (alone it stands)
Where all around is fresh and fair (is fresh and fair)

But because it is my native land
And my home, my home is there
But because it is my native land
And my home, my home is there
