lyrics

White the sheep that gave the wool green the grass on which they fed
Blue the sky above the pool where at noon they made their bed

CHORUS
Daidle dah dum dah daidle dah dum
Da daidle dah dum dah deedle dah day
Da deedle dah daydle dah deedle dah dum
Da deedle dah daidle deedle dah dum

Sing the garden of the sea from whose flowers we won the dye
Sing of seafoam wild and free from our misty Isle of Skye

CHORUS

Light the hearts that love the sea warm the face that seeks the sun
Warm and happy here are we singing til our work is done

CHORUS

Now is waulked the web we've spun winter storms may rave in vain
Bless the work by which we've won shelter from the wind and rain

CHORUS
