lyrics

I have friends to buy me whiskey
Bonnie friends to call my own
But if I should get too drunk for walkin'
What's the man that would carry me home?

And if I be drunk in the Isla Waters
How the deuce would I find home?
If I be drowned in the Isla Waters
My wee doggie would find me in the Isla stream

All the day I bless that water
Aye she's bright and clear to see
But after hours of ale house laughter
Dark and still she waits for me.

Like the fisher's line that's broken
Leaves the salmon to the swell
Many's the night you've had me soaken
But ye break the line yerself

All my days I've lived to court her
Baud and bonnie fine stuff I've seen
But should I drown all in your water
My wee doggie would find me in the Isla Stream.
