Songtext

0:25A Chieftan to the Highlands bound
0:28Cries, "Boatman, do not tarry
0:31And I'll give thee a silver pound
0:34To row us o'er the ferry"
0:38"Now who be ye would cross Lochgyle
0:41This dark and stormy water?"
0:44"Oh! I'm the chief of Ulva's isle
0:47And this Lord Ullin's daughter
0:50And fast before her father's men
0:54Three days we've fled together
0:57For should he find us in the glen
1:00My blood would stain the heather
1:03His horsemen hard behind us ride
1:06Should they our steps discover
1:09Then who will cheer my bonny bride
1:13When they have slain her lover?"
1:16Outspoke the hardy Highland wight
1:19"I'll go, my chief - I'm ready
1:22It is not for your silver bright
1:25But for your winsome lady
1:29And by my word, the bonny bird
1:32In danger shall not tarry
1:35So, though the waves are raging white
1:38I'll row you o'er the ferry"
1:41By this the storm grew loud apace
1:44The water-wraith was shrieking
1:48And in the scowl of heaven each face
1:51Grew dark as they were speaking
1:54But still, as wild blew the wind
1:58And as the night grew drearer
2:01Adown the glen rode armed men
2:04Their trampling sounded nearer
2:07"Oh! Haste thee, haste!" the lady cries
2:11"Though tempests round us gather
2:13I'll meet the raging of the skies
2:16But not an angry father"
2:19The boat has left a stormy land
2:23A stormy sea before her
2:26When oh! Too strong for human hand
2:29The tempest gathered o'er her
2:33And still they rowed amidst the roar
2:36Of waters fast prevailing
2:39Lord Ullin reach'd that fatal shore
2:42His wrath was chang'd to wailing
2:46Sore dismay'd, through storm and shade
2:49His child he did discover
2:52One lovely hand she stretch'd for aid
2:55And one was round her lover
2:58"Come back! Come back!", he cried in grief
3:01"Across this stormy water
3:04And I'll forgive your Highland chief
3:08My daughter! -oh, my daughter!"
3:11'Twas vain: the loud waves lash'd the shore
3:15Return or aid preventing
3:17The waters wild went o'er his child
3:21And he was left lamenting
A Chieftan to the Highlands bound
Cries, "Boatman, do not tarry
And I'll give thee a silver pound
To row us o'er the ferry"
"Now who be ye would cross Lochgyle
This dark and stormy water?"
"Oh! I'm the chief of Ulva's isle
And this Lord Ullin's daughter
And fast before her father's men
Three days we've fled together
For should he find us in the glen
My blood would stain the heather
His horsemen hard behind us ride
Should they our steps discover
Then who will cheer my bonny bride
When they have slain her lover?"
Outspoke the hardy Highland wight
"I'll go, my chief - I'm ready
It is not for your silver bright
But for your winsome lady
And by my word, the bonny bird
In danger shall not tarry
So, though the waves are raging white
I'll row you o'er the ferry"
By this the storm grew loud apace
The water-wraith was shrieking
And in the scowl of heaven each face
Grew dark as they were speaking
But still, as wild blew the wind
And as the night grew drearer
Adown the glen rode armed men
Their trampling sounded nearer
"Oh! Haste thee, haste!" the lady cries
"Though tempests round us gather
I'll meet the raging of the skies
But not an angry father"
The boat has left a stormy land
A stormy sea before her
When oh! Too strong for human hand
The tempest gathered o'er her
And still they rowed amidst the roar
Of waters fast prevailing
Lord Ullin reach'd that fatal shore
His wrath was chang'd to wailing
Sore dismay'd, through storm and shade
His child he did discover
One lovely hand she stretch'd for aid
And one was round her lover
"Come back! Come back!", he cried in grief
"Across this stormy water
And I'll forgive your Highland chief
My daughter! -oh, my daughter!"
'Twas vain: the loud waves lash'd the shore
Return or aid preventing
The waters wild went o'er his child
And he was left lamenting
