Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

A far croonin’ is pullin’ me away
\nAs take I wi’ my cromack to the road.
\nThe far Coolins are puttin’ love on me
\nAs step I wi’ the sunlight for my load. <\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nSure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Lochaber I will go
\nBy heather tracks wi’ heaven in their wiles.
\nIf it’s thinkin’ in your inner heart the braggart’s in my step,
\nYou’ve never smelled the tangle o’ the Isles.
\nOh the far Coolins are puttin’ love on me
\nAs step I wi’ my cromack to the Isles.<\/p>\n

It’s by Shiel water the track is to the west
\nBy Aillort* and by Morar to the sea,
\nThe cool cresses I am thinkin’ of for pluck
\nAnd bracken for a wink on Mother knee. <\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

The blue islands are pullin’ me away
\nTheir laughter puts the leap upon the lame;
\nThe blue islands from the Skerries to the Lewis**
\nWi’ heather honey taste upon each name.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
