[Verse 1]
How often haunting the highest hilltop
I scan the ocean, a sail to see
Will't come tonight, love? Will’t come tomorrow?
Will't ever come, love, to comfort me?

[Chorus]
Fear a Bhata, no hóró eile
Fear a Bhata, no hóró eile
Fear a Bhata, no hóró eile
Oh fare thee well, love, where'er you be

[Verse 2]
Some call me false, love, some call me fickle
And seek to change me, but all in vain
For thou art my dream all through the dark nights
And every morning I watch thе main

[Chorus]
Fear a Bhata, no hóró eile
Fеar a Bhata, no hóró eile
Fear a Bhata, no hóró eile
Oh fare thee well, love, where’er you be

[Verse 3]
There's not a hamlet, too well I know it
Where you go haunting and sit awhile
And all the old folk you charm with stories
And all the maidens with song and smile
[Chorus]
Fear a Bhata, no hóró eile
Fear a Bhata, no hóró eile
Fear a Bhata, no hóró eile
Oh fare thee well, love, where'er you be

[Verse 4]
Dost thou remember the promise made me?
The tartan plaide, the silken gown?
The ring of gold with thy hair and portrait?
That gown and ring I will never own

[Chorus]
Fear a Bhata, no hóró eile
Fear a Bhata, no hóró eile
Fear a Bhata, no hóró eile
Oh fare thee well, love, where'er you be
