Western Isles away

[Flute]

Chorus:

Western Isles Away

Never more I’ll stray

From your shores, My mind implores

My heart and spirit   stay,      oh

Western isles Away

Making way to Stornoway

From Ullapool or Skye

‘cross the Minch, the Eye Peninsula's

headland brings you home, boys,

a sight to please the eye

Chorus

In easy reach is Valtos beach

Its surf and sparkling spray

Garrynahine, Great Bernera

East Loch Roag and Miavaig

And the road to Carloway

Chorus

Ness the North, South Seaforth

Taransay and lee

The Uists’s Isle’s Benbecula

Lochmaddy’s sands and Locheport

And Barra’s rolling seas

Chorus

The native voice, the Gaelic Tongue

Its sounds and haunting songs

God’s chosen Isle, the people’s smiles

And the lassies warm your heart, boys

And the roads are never long

Chorus
