Andy M. Stewart - I'd Cross the Wild Atlantic

From his 1982 album By the Hush. Stewart wrote that he adapted this from "an old Gaelic poem [he] found". I did some research and found a song titled "Bidh Mi Ga D' Chaoidh", attributed to John MacLachlan of Rahoy, in Morvern. See here sheet music from 1885: http://digital.nls.uk/early-gaelic-bo... LYRICS Ah me I must mourn my true love evermore Though coldly forsaken it's you I adore And if you'd return then I'd make you my bride Or I'd cross the wild Atlantic to be by your side On the morning we parted how sad the farewell Our words they were few but our thoughts none could tell And when lost to my vision far over the brine I drank your success in a goblet of wine Three times have I crossed to the ship as she lay Becalmed on the breast of the silvery bay And my crew are the bravest ever handled an oar Unawed by the tempest they laugh at its roar No ballroom can tempt me nor raise my despair For there's none in the dance that with you can compare And to watch the young lovers as they swing round the floor Brings tears to these eyes that may see you no more And in beauty there's none with this lady could vie She's as pure as the stars in the blue of the sky She's as fair as a lily and as sweet as a rose And there's nothing can tempt me her name to disclose No drink will I take for to lighten my heart But the wildest adventures I'll take for my part No woman on earth will I have for a bride 'Til I cross the wild Atlantic to be by your side Ah me I must mourn my true love evermore Though coldly forsaken it's you I adore And if you'd return then I'd make you my bride Or I'll cross the wild Atlantic to be by your side
