Intro:
A minorAm  FF  A minorAm  FF

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?"

Instrumental:
A minorAm  C/GC/G  FF   A minorAm  C/GC/G  FF

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"

Instrumental:

Verse 10:
    A minorAm           C/GC/G        FF
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
