Fear A Bhata (The Boatman)	[print]
(Trad)

How often haunting the highest hilltop I scan the ocean, your boat to see Will it come tonight love, will it come tomorrow Or ever come love to comfort me Fear a bhata sna hóro éale Fear a bhata sna hóro éale Fear a bhata sna hóro éale So fare thee well love where ever thou be There's not a hamlet, too well I know it Where you go wandering or rest a while But only it's old folk you win with talking And charm its maidens with song and smile Fear a bhata sna hóro éale Fear a bhata sna hóro éale Fear a bhata sna hóro éale So fare thee well love where ever thou be
