W W: Down by the seashore on a cool summer's eve W: With the moon rising over the heather W: The moon it shown fair on her head of golden hair W: And she vowed she'd be my love forever. W W: It is not for the loss of my own sister Kate W: It is not for the loss of my mother, W: It is all for the loss of my bonnie blue-eyed lass W: That I'm leaving my homeland forever.
