Lyrics composed by
John Henderson on the 19th of October, 2010,
to William Huddie Leadbetter's music for his 1934 song,
'Goodnight Irene'
Oan maist autumn morns Jock gings sweemin,
Fan the sin's fant an it's cweel;
He troos thit this keps him halesome,
An sinsyne he's niver felt oonweel.
Waater, saut waater,
Dipp'd in ilk day;
Sich waater's guid, Ay affa guid
Alang in Coral Bay.
Ye tee micht fin morns bricht an airly,
Fan nae sin's hich in the lift,
A graun time tae sweem, a bittie,
An syne thenk Ma Naitur for her gift.
Waater, saut waater,
Dipp'd in ilk day;
Sich waater's guid, Ay affa guid
Alang in Coral Bay. |
