FEAR A' BHATA (The Boatman) - Scottish Traditional, played in Fingerstyle on McIlroy A25C Guitar

This song was written in the late 19th century by Sìne NicFhionnlaigh of Tong, Lewis who was courting a young fisherman from Uig, Dòmhnall MacRath. They married soon after the composition. It was first published in Henry Whyte's collection, The Celtic Lyre (Edinburgh, 1898). There is also an Irish version. Lyrics Fhír a' Bháta How often haunting the highest hilltop, I scan the ocean, a sail to see. Will it come tonight, love? Will it come tomorrow? Or ever come, love, to comfort me? Chorus (repeated after each verse): Fhír a' Bháta no hóró eile, [Boatman, no one else] Fhír a' Bháta no hóró eile, Fhír a' Bháta no hóró eile, O fare thee well, love, where'er thou be. They call thee fickle, they call thee false one And seek to change me but all in vain. Thou art my dream yet throughout the dark night And every moment I watch the main. There's not a hamlet, too well I know it, Where you go wandering or stay awhile. But all its old folk you win with talking And charm its maidens with song and smile. Doth thou remember the promise made me, A tartan plead, a silken gown? That ring of gold with your hair and portrait? That gown and ring I will never own. I play this song for solo guitar, with an arrangement of my own. I play with a McIlroy Guitar A-25 (Cedar/Walnut), with Dropped-D tuning, recorded with Cardioid Condenser Microphone. #Scottish_Traditional #Gaelic_Music #McIlroy_Guitar
