Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

[Verse]
D
A sailor and his true love
G A
Lay doon tae mak their moan
D G A
When in by came, ain o their countryman
G A
Sayin’ rise up my bonny lassie
D G
Make haste and come awa
D A G
There’s a vessel lying bound for Caledonia

D G A
Oh said the sailor, are ye willing for tae pay
D
Five hundred guineas
G A
Afore on board ye go?
G A
I’ll pay them plack and farthing
D A
A fore on board I go
D A G
If ye’ll tak me tae me bonny Caledonia

D G A
Oh said the sailor her money we will take
D
And when we’re on the sea
G A
We’ll throw her over deck
G A
Or sell her for a slave
D A
Lang ere she win ava
D A G
And she’ll nere see her bonny Caledonia

D G A
Well said the captain, well that’ll never do
D
For there are nae slaves sold
G A
in tae our country now
G A
They’d hang us one and a’
Bm A
They would hang us every man
D A G
If we sold her for a slave to Caledonia

D G A
Well said the sailor she’s lying doon below
D
She’s bound hand and foot
G A
Ready overboard to throw
G A
She’s bound hand and foot
Bm A
Ready overboard to throw
D A G
And she’ll nae see her bonny Caledonia

D G A
So away the captain, tae the fair maid he has gone
D
Saying what is the reason
G A
That ye’re lying here sae lang
G A
An’ what is the reason
Bm A
That ye’re lying here at all?
D A G
For you’ve paid your passage dear tae Caledonia

D G A
Oh said the lassie, oh woe is me
Bm D
That ever I was born
G A
Sich hardships for tae see
Bm A
For the sailor's got a lassie
D A
He likes better far than me
D A G
And it causes me to weep for Caledonia

D G A
So away the captain, tae the sailor he has gone
Bm D
He’s ta‘en him by the neck
G A
And overboard, him has thrown
G A
Saying tak this cup o’ water
Bm A
Though the liquor be but small
D A G
And drink your lassie’s health tae Caledonia

Bm C Bm C

Bm C Bm C
They’ve sailed east and they’ve sailed west
Bm D
Until they reached the land
Bm A
That they a’ loved the best
Bm A
For the winds they did roar
Bm D
And the seas they did beat
Bm A G
And they’ve all arrived safe to Caledonia

D
Well they hadna been there
G A
But three quarters of a year
Bm D
When in fine silks and satin
G A
He’s made her for tae wear
G A
When in fine silks and satins
Bm A
He’s made her for tae go
D Bm A G
For she’s the captain’s wife in Caledonia
Bm D A G
Now she’s the captain’s wife in Caledonia
A D
