Westering Home
Credited to Hugh S Robertson from a traditional tune (Muckin’ of Geordies’ Byre” .
And it’s westering home with a song in the air
Light in me eye and it’s goodbye to care
Laughter of love and a welcoming there
Bride of my heart, my own love
Tell me a tale of the Orient gay
Tell me of riches that come from Cathay
Ah it is grand to awaken each day
And find yourself nearer to Isla
Where are the folk like the folks of the west
Canty and Couthy an kind to the best
There I would lay me and there I would rest
At home with folks and Isla
