This is my rendition of the Scottish song "Lament For The Fisherman's Wife" originally by Silly Wizard. I absolutely love this song and wish everyone to know it!

I adore this song. It's so authentic, full of meaning, and heartfelt. I used to play it on the guitar years ago and then slowly forgot about its existence until it suddenly popped up in a Spotify playlist. Silly Wizard is a great Scottish folk band that was introduced to me at a young age by my father. He's shown me many other Irish and Scottish folk bands, which have become my main source of inspiration. That's why it feels so good to go back to those roots and sing a Scottish folk song like this for you!

👄💦Lyrics
By the storm-torn shoreline, a woman is standing
The spray strung like jewels in her hair
And the sea tore the rocks near the desolate landing
As though it had known she stood there.

For she had come down to condemn that wild ocean
For the murderous loss of her man,
His boat sailed out on Wednesday morning
And it's feared it's gone down with all hands.

Oh and white were the wave-caps and wild was their parting
So fierce is the warring of love,
But she prayed to the gods
Both of men and of sailors
Not to cast their cruel nets o'er her love.

There's a school on the hill, where the songs of dead fathers
Are led toward tempests and gales,
Where their God-given wings are clipped close to their bodies,
And their eyes are bound-'round with ships' sails.

What force leads a man to a life filled with danger
High on seas or a mile underground?
It's when need is his master and poverty's no stranger,
And there's no other work to be found.
