Campbeltown Loch
Written by Alan Cameron
LYRICS
CHORUS
Oh Campbeltown Loch, I wish ye were whiskey
Campbeltown Loch, och-aye
Campbeltown Loch, I wish ye were whiskey
I would drink ye dry
Now Campbeltown Loch is a wonderful place
But the price of the whiskey is grim
How nice it would be if the whiskey was free
And the Loch was filled up to the brim
CHORUS
I'd buy a yacht with the money I've got
And I'd anchor it out in the bay
If I wanted a sip, I'd go in for a dip
I'd be swimmin' by night and by day
CHORUS
But what if the boat should overturn
And drowned in the Loch was I?
You'd hear me shout, you'd hear me call out
"What a wonderful way to die"
CHORUS
There'd be a gathering of the clans
They'd come from near and far
I can see them grin as they're wading in
And shouting, "Slainte mhor"
CHORUS
But what's this I see, ochone for me
It's a vision to make your blood freeze
It's the police afloat in a dirty big boat
And they're shouting, "Time, gentlemen, please"
CHORUS
