Verse 1:
     A minorAm       C/GC/G    FF
Here's a health to you, bonny Kellswater
     A minorAm     C/GC/G     FF
Where you get all the pleasures of life
     A minorAm     C/GC/G     FF
Where you get all the fishing and fowling
   A minorAm    C/GC/G      FF
And a bonny wee lass for your wife

Verse 2:
     A minorAm       C/GC/G    FF
Oh, it's down where yon waters run muddy
   A minorAm       C/GC/G    FF
I'm afraid they will never run clear
     A minorAm    C/GC/G    FF
And it's when I begin for to study
  A minorAm     C/GC/G      FF
My mind is on him that's not here

Verse 3:
     A minorAm      C/GC/G     FF
And it's this one and that one may court him
    A minorAm   C/GC/G     FF
But if anyone gets him but me
   A minorAm    C/GC/G     FF
It's early and late I will curse them
  A minorAm       C/GC/G     FF
The parting lovely Willie from me

Verse 4:
   A minorAm     C/GC/G     FF
Oh, a father, he calls on his daughter
   A minorAm      C/GC/G    FF
"Two choices I'll give unto thee
     A minorAm     C/GC/G       FF
Would you rather see Willie's ship a-sailing
      A minorAm     C/GC/G      FF
Or see him hung like a dog on yonder tree?"

Verse 5:
  A minorAm      C/GC/G    FF
"Oh father, dear father, I love him
   A minorAm    C/GC/G     FF
I can no longer hide it from thee
      A minorAm   C/GC/G     FF
Through an acre of fire I would travel
 A minorAm        C/GC/G    FF
Along with lovely Willie, to be"

Verse 6:
  A minorAm      C/GC/G      FF
Oh, hard was the heartbreak I'm finding
  A minorAm      C/GC/G      FF
She took from her full heart's delight
    A minorAm      C/GC/G     FF
May the chains of old Ireland come find them
  A minorAm      C/GC/G    FF
And soften their pillows at night

Verse 7:
  A minorAm        C/GC/G     FF
Oh, yonder there's a ship on the ocean
    A minorAm      C/GC/G     FF
And she does not know which way to steer
     A minorAm      C/GC/G     FF
From the east and the west she's a-blowing
   A minorAm       C/GC/G     FF
She reminds me of the charms of my dear

Verse 8:
     A minorAm    C/GC/G      FF
Oh, it's yonder my Willie will be coming
  A minorAm      C/GC/G     FF
He said he'd be here in the spring
     A minorAm     C/GC/G        FF
And it's down by yon green shades I'll meet him
   A minorAm    C/GC/G     FF
And among wild roses we'll sing

Verse 9:
   A minorAm      C/GC/G     FF
For a gold ring he placed on my finger
     A minorAm       C/GC/G   FF
Saying, "Love, bear this in your mind
  A minorAm   C/GC/G      FF
If ever I sail from old Ireland
    A minorAm       C/GC/G     FF
You'll mind, I'll not leave you behind"

Farewell to you, bonny Kellswater
     A minorAm     C/GC/G     FF
Where you get all the pleasures of life
     A minorAm     C/GC/G     FF
Where you get all the fishing and fowling
   A minorAm    C/GC/G      FF
And a bonny wee lass for your wife
