When I've done my work of day,
And I row my boat away,
Doon the waters of Loch Tay,
As the evening light is fading
And I look upon Ben Lawers
Where the after glory glows;
And I think on two bright eyes
And the melting mouth below.
She's my beauteous nighean ruadh,
She's my joy and sorrow too;
And although she is untrue,
Well I cannot live without her,
For my heart's a boat in tow,
And I'd give the world to know
Why she means to let me go,
As I sing horee horo.
Nighean ruadh, your lovely hair
Has more glamour I declare
Than all the tresses rare
'tween Killin and Aberfeldy.
Be they lint white, brown or gold,
Be they blacker than the sloe,
They are worth no more to me
Than the melting flake of snow.
Her eyes are like the gleam
O' the sunlight on the stream;
And the songs the fairies sing
Seem like songs she sings at milking.
But my heart is full of woe,
For last night she bade me go
And the tears begin to flow,
As I sing horee, horo.
She's my beauteous nighean ruadh,
She's my joy and sorrow too
And although she is untrue,
Well I cannot live without her.
For my heart's a boat in tow
And I'd give the world to know,
Why she means to let me go
As I sing horee horo.
The Corries were a Scottish folk group that emerged from the Scottish folk revival of the early 1960s. Although the group was a trio in the early days, it is best known as the partnership of Roy Williamson and Ronnie Browne. Williamson, singer and guitarist, came from a musical family and had already experience in traditional Scottish singing before forming The Corries. Browne, a versatile musician, mainly played fiddle, mandolin and banjo. Their musical style was characterized by original arrangements of traditional Scottish songs, often with a modern touch. Among the most famous songs by The Corries are "Flower of Scotland", which became the unofficial national anthem of Scotland, and "The Laird o'Cockpen". The group enjoyed great success in the 1960s and 1970s, releasing numerous albums and performing at music festivals worldwide.
