Uisce Beatha was a Canadian folk rock band in the 1990s. Formed in London, Ontario, the band consisted of Alan Glen on lead vocals and banjo, John Glen on mandolin and tin whistle, Paul Meadows on fiddle and harp, Damian Morrissy on bass guitar, Doug Watt on guitar and Marty Coles on drums later replaced by ex Gurriers drummer Patrick McLaughlin. The band took its name from uisce beatha, the traditional Irish name for whisky (literally "water of life" in Irish Gaelic).

AmEm I come to town lookin' for my love AmEm she's the sweet one Maggie Coulter she left the field of her father's farm with a kit bag on her shoulder CDm we were going to wed in a nearby town Am when November winds came colder she ran and cried she thought I'd died AmEmAm cause that's what her father told her she's sure to be wearing a wedding gown was her mother's mums before her you'd only have to see her once and you'd know why I adored her she's got strands of hair like the angel's fair and lips like the reddest roses but I'll tell you now that I'll cut down any man who dares proposses
CHORUS
so I've got to run while I've got the sun before the ship rolls with the tide and we'll sail away at the break of day never again will she leave my side (REPEAT INTRO)
when she heard the news of my demise she was overcome with sorrow she donned her gown and she knew if she ran she could catch that ship tommorrow and when the boat went out to sea she could throw herself in the water for she couldn't swim she knew she'd be dead by the time that the fishermen caught her
CHORUS
well I reached the shore but the ship had sailed and with it went my true love I swam for miles in the water's wild but I couldn't catch my true love and I heard a voice like a swallow's song as the moon rose up above me so I let the tide take me down inside to the one who'll always love me
