Arran Boat Song

from Keltiar Spells by Zuberoa Aznárez

lyrics

Put off, put off, and row with speed
For now is the time and the hour of need
To oars, to oars, and trim the bark
Nor Scotland’s Queen be a warder’s mark!

Yon light that plays round the castle’s moat
Is only the warder’s random shot.
Put off, put off, and row with speed
For now is the time and the hour of need.

Those pond’rous keys, shall the kelpies keep
And lodge in their caverns so dark and deep
Nor shall Lochleven’s tower or hall
Hold thee our lovely lady in thrall

Or be the haunt of traitors sold
While Scotland has hands and hearts so bold
Then onward, steersman, row with speed
For now is the time, and the hour of need.

Hark, the alarm bell has rung
The warder’s voice has treason sung
The echos to the falconets roar
Chime sweetly to the dashing shore

Let tower, hall, and battlement gleam
We steer by the light of the taper’s gleam
For Scotland and Mary, on with speed
For now is the time, and the hour of need.
