STORNOWAY ROSE

STORNOWAY ROSE

by

Matt McGinn

There's a cavern of gold

In the Cuillins of Skye

With riches untold

Come love let us fly

So bid farewell my love

For time quickly flows

Come over the Minch with me

My Stornoway rose

Away with your cave of gold

For I have heard tell

Your Cullins' gold, my love

Is bound by a spell

But bid farewell my love

For time quickly flows

Come over the Minch with me

My Stornoway rose

I've heard them say, my love

That your Cuillins' gold

Is there for any man

For the price of his soul

But bid farewell my love

For time quickly flows

Come over the Minch with me

My Stornoway rose

Treasures abound, my love

In the island of Skye

I need no bribe of gold

To the Cuillins I'll fly

So bid farewell my love

For time quickly flows

Come over the Minch with me

My Stornoway rose

Far over the Minch with me

My Stornoway rose
