'Farewell Tae the Haven' can be found on the McCalmans' 1990 album 'Flames on the Water'. These are Davy's notes:

[1990:] Morrison's Haven, of the song, no longer exists. This is the story of a man whose family had, for generations, been fisherfolk on the small boats. For as long as he could remember, all he wanted to do was to work in these 'drifters', but due to the decline of the Scottish fishing trade, he had to give it up. (Davy Steele, notes McCalmans, 'Flames On the Water')

In G AND 3/4 TIME it would be:
D DCB BA- --- --G GF*E D-- --- --

G GF*E ED- --- --C/C CBC A-- --- --

D DCB BA- --- --G GF*E D-- --- --

G GF*E ED- --- --C/C CBA G-- --- --

* = SHARP, C/C = QUAVERS OR HALF LENGTH OF OTHER NOTES, --- = HELD NOTES

No doubt some clever person can put it more intelligibly
