Cm               Gm     Bb 
I have funds tae buy me whiskey 

Cm              Bb      Cm 
Monie funds tae call my ain 

Cm                     Gm      Bb 
But if I should get to fu' for walkin' 

Cm                       Bb    Gm Cm 
Wha's the man that would carry me hame? 

Chorus:  
And if I be dround in the Isla Waters 
Hou the deuce would I win Hame? 
If I be drounk in the Isla Waters 
Highway Duggie would find me in the Isla stream. 

Ilka day I cross that water 
Aye she's brackent wi' the sea 
But if there is o' ale-hous laughter 
Daurk an' still she waits on me.  

Chorus 

Like the fisher's line that's brawken 
Leaves the salmon tae the swell 
Monie's the nicht ye'll fan' me souken 
But ye brak the line yersel.  

Chorus 

Aa' my days I've lived the quarter 
Baud and bonnie fine stuff I've seen 
But should I droun in your water 
Highway Duggie would find me in the Isla Stream.
