Let All That Are To Mirth Inclined Lyrics

Here's a health to you bonny Kellswater

Where you get all the pleasures of
life

Where you get all the fishing and fowling

And a bonny wee lass
for your wife.



Oh it's down where yon waters run muddy

I'm
afraid they will never run clear

And it's when I begin for to study

My mind is on him that's not here.



And it's this one and that
one may court him

But if any one gets him but me

It's early and
late I will curse them

The parting lovely Willie from me.



Oh
a father he calls on his daughter

Two choices I'll give unto thee

Would you rather see Willie's ship a'sailing

See him hung like a dog
on yonder tree.



Oh father, dear father, I love him

I can no
longer hide it from thee

Through an acre of fire I would travel

Along with the lovely Willie to be.



Oh hard was the heartbreak
I'm finding

She took from her full heart's delight

May the chains
of old Ireland come find them

And softly their pillows at night.



Oh yonder there's a ship on the ocean

And she does not know
which way to seer

From the east and the west she's a-blowing

She
reminds me of the charms of my dear.



Oh it's yonder my Willie will
be coming

He said he'd be here in the spring

And it's down by yon
green shades I'll meet him

And among wild roses we'll sing.

For a
gold ring he placed on my finger

Saying love bear this in your mind

If ever I sail from old Ireland

You'll mind I'll not leave you
behind.



Here's a health to you bonny Kellswater

Where you
get all the pleasures of life

Where you get all the fishing and
fowling

And a bonny wee lass for your wife.
