My Donald he works on the sea
On the waves that blow wild and free
He splices the ropes and sets the sails
While southward he rows to the home o' the whales
He never thinks of me far behind
Or the torments that rage in my mind
He's mine for only half part o' the year
And I'm left all alone wi' naught but a tear
Ye ladies wi' smell o' wild rose
Think ye for your perfumes o' what a man goes
Think ye o' the waves and the burn he's wi' earn
For a man ne'er returnin' frae huntin' span
My Donald he works on the sea
On the waves that blow wild and free
He splices the ropes and sets the sails
While southward he rows to the home o' the whales
