    Story Behind the Song
    The song was written by Jane Finlayson of Lewis for a young Uig fisherman, Donald MacRae, whom she later married. This was the fist song I learned while studying in Scotland and I knew that it would be the first song I would ever record. I fell in love with the song as well as the love story it contains. It is basically about how much pain one goes through because of the love being so strong. At that time being a fisherman was a very dangerous job and loved ones would be concerned about a safe return.

    Lyrics
    O my boatman
    O my boatman
    o my boatman
    my hearty farewell to you everywhere you go.

    Often I look from the higest hill
    trying to see the boatman;
    Will you come today or tomorrow?
    If you do not come, I will be a pitiful sight.

    My heart is broken and bruised
    Often tears run from my eyes;
    Will you come tonight, or can I hope
    Or will I be forced to close the door with a sigh?
