Lyrics

Auld Nessie & Me
©, Willie McCulloch, 2005

So black was her tail, an` bright were her eyes
In the darkest of nichts?ye can still hear her cries
From the deepest dominion?way doun below
On a risin` crest she would show?
On a risin` crest she would show?

The scariest thing I ever did see
She turned her head round, an` headed fer me?
As the wave hit the boat, I held on fer life
An` thought of the wanes an` my beautiful wife?
The wanes an` my beautiful wife?

Goin` doun doun doun doun?
Far from the boat an` good solid ground?
Goin` doun doun doun doun
That nicht?Auld Nessie & Me

Wit a chill in the air, an` sweat on my brow
Still frozen wit fear as she passed by the bow?
The strangest sensation come o`vr my feet
An` I thought that my maker taenicht I would meet
My maker taenicht I would meet

Her beautiful skin?ten colours o` green
I suddenly felt myself calm an` serene
Then layin` doun gently, I opened my eyes
The creature had saved me from certain demise?
Saved me from certain demise?

Goin` doun doun doun doun?
Far from the boat an` good solid ground?
Goin` doun doun doun doun
That nicht?Auld Nessie & Me
