Monie funds tae call my ain

But if I should get to fu' for walkin'

Wha's the man that would carry me hame?
CHORUS:
And if I be dround in the Isla Waters
Hou the deuce would I win Hame?
If I be drounk in the Isla Waters
Highway Duggie would find me in the Isla stream.
Ilka day I cross that water
Aye she's brackent wi' the sea
But if there is o' ale-hous laughter
Daurk an' still she waits on me.
CHORUS
Like the fisher's line that's brawken
Leaves the salmon tae the swell
Monie's the nicht ye'll fan' me souken
But ye brak the line yersel.
CHORUS
Aa' my days I've lived the quarter
Baud and bonnie fine stuff I've seen
But should I droun in your water
Highway Duggie would find me in the Isla Stream.
