They call thee fickle they call thee false one

For thou art my dream all through the dark night
Am Dm C Am Dm
And every morning i scan the sea

There's not a hamlet too well i know it
Am Dm Am
Where you go wandering or sit a while
C Dm C F C
But all the old folks you win by talking
Am Dm C Am Dm
And charm its maidens with song and smile
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Dm C
Do you remember the promise made me
Am Dm Am
The tartan plaidie the silken gown
C Dm C F C
The ring of gold with thy hair and portrait?
Am Dm C Am Dm
That ring and gown I will never know
[Chorus]

fhear a bhata no horo eil'e
