I'm working here in Glasgow and I've got a decent job
I'm playing tunes and 'dramming' with the West Coast's finest malt
I wake up in the morning and a curer I do seek
And by the time the night has come it's the middle of next week!
Hello Dรฒmhnall 'ic Sheumais, you'll hear the people cry
Hello Dรฒmhnall 'ic Sheumais, renowned from Mull to Skye
You're a decent boy from the Hebrides and no one can deny
You're a hair-um, scare-um, devil may care-um, rowdy Island boy
The day I left my island 't was many years ago
I left my home in Scarinish where the fields of silage grow
And since I left my island it's always been my plan
to let the people see that I'm a decent island Man
Hello Dรฒmhnall 'ic Sheumais, you'll hear the people cry
Hello Dรฒmhnall 'ic Sheumais, renowned from Mull to Skye
You're a decent boy from the Hebrides and no one can deny
You're a hair-um, scare-um, devil may care-um, rowdy Island boy

When I came to Glasgow, on a quest I did embark
I spent my hours in the Snaffle, the Islay and the Park
But now I'm getting older
And I'm weary of the drink
And think it's just about the time to find the missing link!
Hello Dรฒmhnall 'ic Sheumais, you'll hear the people cry
Hello Dรฒmhnall 'ic Sheumais, renowned from Mull to Skye
You're a decent boy from the Hebrides and no one can deny
You're a hair-um, scare-um, devil may care-um, rowdy Island boy
And if there's one among you that would like to marry me,
I'll take you to my little home, a bothan by the sea,
I'll kit you out with welly-boots and please you all I can,
to let the locals see that I'm a decent Island Man!
Hello Dรฒmhnall 'ic Sheumais, you'll hear the people cry
Hello Dรฒmhnall 'ic Sheumais, renowned from Mull to Skye
You're a decent boy from the Hebrides and no one can deny
You're a hair-um, scare-um, devil may care-um, rowdy Island boy
Hello Dรฒmhnall 'ic Sheumais, you'll hear the people cry
Hello Dรฒmhnall 'ic Sheumais, renowned from Mull to Skye
You're a decent boy from the Hebrides and no one can deny
You're a hair-um, scare-um, devil may care-um, rowdy Island boy
Hello Dรฒmhnall 'ic Sheumais, you'll hear the people cry
Hello Dรฒmhnall 'ic Sheumais, renowned from Mull to Skye
You're a decent boy from the Hebrides and no one can deny
You're a hair-um, scare-um, devil may care-um, rowdy Island boy
You're a hair-um, scare-um, devil may care-um, rowdy Island boy
You're a hair-um, scare-um, devil may care-um, west coast Island boy
