Lyrics:
There’s ten thousand barrels of whisky
In a warehouse that’s kissed by the sea
The fishing boat’s out for the winter
I doubt if the nets really long to be free

Sometimes the best of us leave all the rest of us

In November the Colonsay Gypsy
Met ‘the cauldron of the speckled seas’
The waves grew so high and as much as we tried
The four of us came back three

Sometimes the best of us leave all the rest of us

Pour it out​, raise a glass into the air
Sing out loud​ if you care
Pour it out
Taste the water of life
I’ll take the angel’s share

There’s ten thousand barrels of whisky
and ten thousand tales of the sea
So ​get you boys back to the ocean
And know that my spirit will always be free

Sometimes the best of us leave all the rest of us

Pour it out​, raise a glass into the air
Sing out loud​ if you care
Pour it out
Taste the water of life
I’ll take the angel’s share
