Isle Of Islay
Composer(s): Donovan Leitch
Performer(s): Donovan; Jerry Peel; Winter Flowers



How high the gulls fly o'er Islay
How sad the farm lad deep in play
Felt like a grain on your sand

How well the sheep's bell music makes
Rovin' the cliff when fancy takes
Felt like the tide left me here
How blest the forest with birds' song
How neat the cut peat laid so long
Felt like a seed on your land

How high the gulls fly o'er Islay
How sad the farm lad deep in play
Felt like the tide left me here
Felt like a grain on your sand
Felt like a grain on your sand
