lyrics

when I was single I had a black shawl,
Now I'm married, I've nothing at all.
Still I love him, I'll forgive him,
I'll go with him wherever he goes.
He took me to the alehouse and bought me some stout
Before I could drink it he'd ordered me out.
Still I love him, I'll forgive him,
I'll go with him wherever he goes.
He came up the row and he whispered me out,
Then he went off with young Kitty MacLeod.
Still I love him, I'll forgive him,
I'll go with him wherever he goes.
He bought me a handkerchief, red, white and blue,
Then to clean windows he tore it in two.
Still I love him, I'll forgive him,
I'll go with him wherever he goes.
My back is a-breaking, my fingers are sore,
Gutting the herrin' he brings to the shore.
Still I love him, I'll forgive him,
I'll go with him wherever he goes.
The storm is a-raging, his boat isn't in,
Doesn't one tell me what's happened to him.
Still I love him, I'll forgive him,
I'll go with him wherever he goes.
If he's gone to heaven, he'll come to no harm.
If he's gone to hell, then he'll keep himself warm.
Still I love him, I'll forgive him,
I'll go with him wherever he goes.
