Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Westering Home

Westering home and a song in the air,

Light in the eye and it's goodbye to care;

Laughter o' love and a welcoming there;

Isle of my heart, my own one!

Tell me o' lands o' the Orient gay!              Where are the folk like the folk o' the West

Speak o' the riches and joys o' Cathay!     Canty and couthy and kindly, the best;

Eh, but it's grand to be wakin' ilk day        There I would hie me, and there I would rest

To find yourself nearer to Isla.                   At hame wi' my ain folk in Isla.
