The Boatie Rows

Trad.

NOTELINE 





 







0 weel may the boatie rows and better may she speed 

0 weel may the boatie rows that wins our bairn's bread 



Cho: 

The boatie rows, the boatie rows, the boatie rows fu' wheel 

And muckle luck attend the boat the marlin and the creel 



I cast my line in Largo Bay and fishes I caught nine 

There's three tae boil and three tae fry and three tae bait the line 



Cho: 



0 weel may the boatie rows that fills the heavy creel 

That feeds and clads our bairn's all and buys us potage meal.
