TIREE LOVE SONG

Horee horo my bonnie wee girl
Horee horo my fair one
Will you come away with me love
To be my own my rare one

All together down by the sea
Down by the sea in the gloamin'
Stepping it lightly with dancing feet
And then together homin'

Smiling the land, shining the sea
Sweet was the smell of the heather
Would we were younger both you and me
The two of us together

and
COME BY THE HILLS
(Music: Traditional Gaelic [Buachaill On Eirne];Words: Gordon Smith)

Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free
And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the lochs meet the sea
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun
Ah, the cares of to-morrow can wait 'til this day is done

Oh, come by the hills to the land where life is a song
And sing while the birds fill the air with their joy all day long
Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune
Ah, the cares of to-morrow can wait 'til this day is done

Come by the hills to the land where legend re-mains
Where stories of old fill the heart and may yet come a-gain
Where our past has been lost and the future has still to be won
Ah, the cares of to-morrow can wait 'til this day is done

Ending: repeat first verse
