Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
Come again, come again ye Burghead men
And sail wi’ the mornin’ tide
Come again, come again through the wind and the rain
To the place where you’ll always bide
Chorus:
And you know if stand of the Burghead sand
All the years be ten times ten
You’ll aye be a slave to the ocean wave
Till your back on the sea once again
When the fishing’s done, the harvest won
Take oot your boat tae Skye
Tae the harbor gate, where the woman wait
Till you’re safely by their side
Chorus
Till your back on the sea once again
Born in the wee of the great North Sea
Where the weepin’ willows laughed
Married at birth to the Moray Firth
And the deck o’ a fishin’ craft
Chorus
Till your back on the sea once again
Come again, come again ye Burghead men
Tae the Broch(?) where you’ll aye belong
To the Dewar’s(?) Well, the Claive’s smell
And the Oyster’s catchers song
Chorus
