Lyrics

Here's a health to you bonnie Kells Water
Where you get all the pleasures of life
Where you get all the fishing and fowling
And a bonnie wee glass o' your wife
Oh it's down where yon waters run muddy
I'm afraid they will never run clear
And it's when I begin for to study
My mind is on him that's not here
Oh it's this one and that one may court him
But if anyone gets him but me
It's early and late I will curse them
For parting lovely Willie from me
Oh father he calls unto his daughter
Two choices I'll give unto thee
Would you rather see Willie's ship a-sailing
Or see him hung like a dog from yon tree
Oh father, oh father I love him
I can no longer hide it from thee
Through an acre of fire I would travel
Alone with lovely Willie to be
Oh hard was the heart that confined her
And took from her full heart its delight
May the chains of old Ireland bind round him
And soft be his pillow at night
Oh it's yonder my Willie will be coming
He said he'd be here in the spring
And it's down by yon green trees I'll meet him
And among yon wild roses we'll sing
For a gold ring he placed on my finger
Saying "Love please bear this in your mind
If ever I step from old Ireland
You mind I'll not leave you behind"
