Lord Ullin's Daughter feat. Jude Law (Japanese Bonus Track) Lyrics
[00:25.53] A chieftain, to the Highlands bound
[00:28.09] Cries, Boatman, do not tarry
[00:31.78] And I'll give thee a silver pound
[00:35.05] To row us o'er the ferry
[00:37.85] Now who be ye, would cross Lochgyle
[00:41.12] This dark and stormy water
[00:44.35] O, I'm the chief of Ulva's isle
[00:47.71] And this Lord Ullin's daughter
[00:50.88] And fast before her father's men
[00:53.96] Three days we've fled together
[00:57.38] For should he find us in the glen
[01:00.34] My blood would stain the heather
[01:03.79] His horsemen hard behind us ride
[01:06.72] Should they our steps discover
[01:10.05] Then who will cheer my bonny bride
[01:13.27] When they have slain her lover
[01:16.51] Out spoke the hardy Highland wight
[01:19.75] I'll go, my cheif-I'm ready
[01:22.85] It is not for your silver bright
[01:26.23] But for your winsome lady
[01:29.39] And by my word! the bonny bird
[01:32.24] In danger shall not tarry
[01:35.79] To though the waves are raging white
[01:38.83] I'll row you o'er the ferry
[01:42.04] By this the storm grew loud apace
[01:45.29] The water-wraith was shrieking
[01:48.45] And in the scowl of heaven each face
[01:51.43] Grew dark as they were speaking
[01:54.73] But still as wild blew the wind
[01:57.98] And as the night grew drearer
[02:01.26] Adown the glen rode armed men
[02:04.46] Their trampling sounded nearer
[02:07.88] "Oh haste thee, haste", the lady cries
[02:10.93] Though tempest surround us gather
[02:13.82] I'll meet the raging of the skies
[02:17.01] But not an angry father
[02:20.65] The boat had left a stormy land
[02:23.86] A stormy sea before her
[02:26.62] When, oh, too strong for human hand
[02:30.12] The tempest gathered o'er her
[02:33.13] And still they rowed amidst the roar
[02:36.31] Of waters fast prevailing
[02:39.68] Lord Ullin reached that fatal shore
[02:42.42] His wrath was changed to wailing
[02:46.03] For sore dismayed, through storm and shade
[02:49.23] His child he did discover
[02:52.78] One lovely hand stretched out for aid
[02:55.66] And one was round her lover
[02:58.69] "Come back, come back", he cried in grief
[03:02.15] Across this stormy water
[03:05.40] And I'll forgive your Highland chief
[03:08.38] My daughter, oh, my daughter!
[03:11.58] 'Twas vain: the loud waves lashed the shore
[03:14.89] Return or aid preventing
[03:17.80] The waters wild went o'er his child
[03:21.44] And he was left lamenting
[03:23.97]
