    Caller Ou
    Album: Where the Dolphins Do Play
     
    Traditional
     
     

     
    When winter winds howl and the sea rolling high
    Our boatmen sae brave, all dangers defy
    There last haul on board, they steer for the shore
    They're live cargo landed is soon at our door

    Caller ou, caller ou, caller ou
    Frae the Forth, caller ou, caller ou

    At nicht roon the ingle sae canty are we
    The fisher lass brings in her treat frae the sea
    Wi' music and sang as time passes by
    We hear in the distance the creel lassies cry

    Caller ou, caller ou, caller ou
    Frae the Forth, caller ou, caller ou

    So here's to the boatman, at hame and awa'
    At kirk and at fair there's nane gaes sae braw
    And weel be their dames sae blythesome and fair
    They're voices in evening is music to hear.

    Caller ou, caller ou, caller ou
    Frae the Forth, caller ou, caller ou
