I also listened to the recording, and I found no corrections I needed to make. ABERLADY BAY As recorded by The McCalmans on "Ancestral Manoeuvres" (1984) 1. The blue Forth lies before us, lads. The wind blows fair and free. The boat glides ower the crested wave As if she hame would be; For syne the lichts o' Gullane Heid Will licht up bank and brae, And the shining sand like a golden band Round Aberlady Bay. CHORUS: Then a cheer for the bonny boat That glides ower the storm and the calm sae weel, And a cheer for the lads that catch the fish, And the lass that carries the creel. 2. There's music in the seagull cry And the roar of the driving gale. There's music in the saut sea breeze Blowing the bended sail; But sweeter far the lichts o' hame Shining in the morning grey, When the boat speeds fast on the off-shore blast Round Aberlady Bay. CHORUS 3. Cockenny wives wi' mutches white, And goons o' wincey fine; Cockenny maids wi' yellow hair, And cheeks like rosy wine; They'll meet us at the pier, me lads, For weel they ken the day When the boat shall glide ower the dancing tide Round Aberlady Bay. CHORUS TWICE |
