Sung by Norma Munro
Westering home and a
song in the air
Light in the eye and it's goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle of my heart my own one.
Tell me o' lands of
the Orient gay
Speak o' the riches and joys of Cathay
Ay but it's grand to be wakin' ilk day
To find yourself nearer to Islay.
Westering home and a
song in the air
Light in the eye and it's goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle of my heart my own one.
Where are the folk
like the folk o' the west
Canty and couthie and kindly the best
There I would hie me and there I would
rest
At hame wi'
my ain folk on Islay.
Westering home and a
song in the air
Light in the eye and it's goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle of my heart my own one.
And it's westering home and a song in the
air
Light in the
eye and it's goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle of my heart my own one.
Isle of my heart my
own one.
