Westering home and a song in the air
C G C D
Light in the eye and it's goodbye to care
G C G
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
D C G
Isle of my heart my own one
[Verse 1]
G D
Tell me of lands of the orient gay
G C D
Speak of the riches and joys o' Cathay
G D
Ay but it's grand to be waking each day
G D C G
and find yourself nearer to Islay
[Verse 2]
G D
Where are the folk like the folk o' the West
G C D
Canty and couthy and kindly the best
G D
There I would hide me and there I would rest
G D C G
At home with my ain folk on Islay
[Verse 3]

Now I'm at home and at home I do lay
G C D
Dreaming of riches that come from Cathay
G D
I'll hop a good ship and be on my way
G D C G
And bring back my fortune to Islay
[Chorus]

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
D C G
Isle of my heart my own one
