  here's a health to you bonny kellswater
  where you get all the pleasures of life
  where you get all the fishing and fowling
  and a bonny wee lass for your wife.
  
  oh it's down where yon waters run muddy
  i'm afraid they will never run clear
  and it's when i begin for to study
  my mind is on him that's not here.
  
  and it's this one and that one may court him
  but if any one gets him but me
  it's early and late i will curse them
  the parting lovely willie from me.
  
  oh a father he calls on his daughter
  two choices i'll give unto thee
  would you rather see willie's ship a sailing
  see him hung like a dog on yonder tree.
  
  oh father, dear father, i love him
  i can no longer bide it from thee
  through an acre of fire i would travel
  along with the lovely willie to be.
  
  oh hard was the heartbreak i'm finding
  she took from her full heart's delight
  may the chains of old ireland come find them
  and softly their pillows at night.
  
  oh yonder there's a ship on the ocean
  and she does not know which way to steer
  from the east and the west she's a-blowing
  she reminds me of the charms of my dear.
  
  oh it's yonder my willie will be coming
  he said he'd be here in the spring
  and it's down by yon green shades i'll meet him
  and among wild roses we'll sing.
  
  for a gold ring be placed on my finger
  saying love bear this in your mind
  if ever i sail from old ireland
  you'll mind i'll not leave you behind.
  
  here's a health to you bonny kellswater
  where you get all the pleasures of life
  where you get all the fishing and fowling
  and a bonny wee lass for your wife.
