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
