Isle Of Eigg

Robin Laing

T'was in the merry month of May
When balmy winds first blow
I met my love in Arisaig
Where rhododendrons grow
I met my love in Arisaig
In the shadow of Craig Mhor
The sun shone on the Isle of Eigg
Far from the silver shore.

And in the months that followed
Our love and friendship grew
Warmed by the summer sun
And a love that was so new.
We walked among the hills
And by the crashing ocean's roar.
The sun shone on the Isle of Eigg
Far from the silver shore.

Autumn came to Arisaig
With colours fair to view
Birds were flying south again
Soon we followed too.
A said song echoed in the hills
Lochaber no more.
The sun shone on the Isle of Eigg
Far from the silver shore.

T'was in the merry month of May
When balmy winds first blow
I met my love in Arisaig
Where rhododendrons grow.
I met my love in Arisaig
In the shadow of Craig Mhor.
The sun shone on the Isle of Eigg
Far from the silver shore.
