Lyrics
During his life a man may sing many love songs, either with his
Lips or with his heart, but happy is the man who sings them with
Both. Now the man of the sea who's in love with his boat is
Such a man. To him her shoulders clothed in sea-foam are the
Fairest, and her white sails breasting forward with the summer
Breeze are far the fairest. To him she is fairer than the fairest
Out at sea fair is she
Fairer than the Dame Clanranald
Fairer than she
Not a wave in straits or narrows
But is glad when she is coming
Out to sea fair is she
Fairer than the Dame Clanranald
Fairer than she
Out to sea fair is she
White her shoulders creasting sea-foam
Far fairest she
Out to Uist and out to Lewis
Outward bound to rhoodle in Harris
Fairest she out to sea
White her shoulders creasting sea-foam
Far fairest she
Out at sea fairest she
White her shoulders creasting sea-foam
Fairest she
Not a seal or brindle sea-duck
But would fain be following after
Out to sea fairest she
Fairer than the Dame Clanranald
Fairer than she
