Back Of The Moon Heilan Laddie Lyrics

"An' whaur ye been a' the day
Bonnie laddie, Heilan laddie?
An' whaur ye been sae lang awa'
My bonnie Heilan laddie?"

"Well, I've been seekin' fortune's road
Bonnie lassie, Heilan lassie
An' there's money at the whalin', so I've been told
My bonnie Heilan lassie

Oh I sailed for the north on a Dundee whaler
Bonnie lassie, Heilan lassie
Well, I sailed for the north as a whalin' sailor
My bonnie Heilan lassie"

"But Greenland's shores are gray and cold
Bonnie laddie, Heilan laddie There's plenty o' ice, but no' much gold
My bonnie Heilan laddie

An' when will you come back again
Bonnie laddie, Heilan laddie?
You an' a' the whalin' men
My bonnie Heilan laddie?"

"Well, I'll be glad when I get hame
Bonnie lassie, Heilan lassie
An' I'll gie up this whalin' game
My bonnie Heilan lassie"

"An' whaur ye been a' the day
Bonnie laddie, Heilan laddie?
An' whaur ye been sae lang awa'
My bonnie heilan laddie?"
