Summary

Sailor's song in praise of Barra. He asks that all the lads drink from their glasses, that they may sing the praises of Barra, the island where they were all reared. He looks back with nostalgia at the scenes his youth and says that if he lives to return to England that he will make his way to Oban, where he will board the boat to Barra.
