Last night I heard the voice of Thomas Fraser
And the comfort of his words came to my ears
By a willow he was singing to the catfish
And time had withered not his tender years
Oh time had withered not his tender years
verse 2
And the hummingbirds were singing while he played his old guitar
And with every word he sang the breeze was still
And a light was shining down upon the water from his eye
If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will
Oh If Thomas Fraser wants, Thomas will
verse 3
If he sang of life's misfortunes he would sing up to the sky
As he struggled through the dangers of the deep
And a moment when he gazed upon a loving Shetland moon
And a love song for his family in their sleep
Oh a love song for his family in their sleep
verse 4
And the hummingbirds were singing while he played his old guitar
And with every word he sang the breeze was still
And a light was shining down upon the water from his eye
If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will
Oh If Thomas Fraser wants, Thomas will
Verse 5
If you join him by the willow you'll be welcome
To soothe the savage breast his voice will try
You all will be made welcome there where peace of mind has curly hair
Thomas sings and plays to tell us why
Oh Thomas sings and plays to tell us why
Verse 6
And the hummingbirds were singing while he played his old guitar
And with every word he sang the breeze was still
And a light was shining down upon the water from his eye
If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will
Oh If Thomas Fraser wants, Thomas will
Outro
As Thomas sang his song a baby sang along
If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will
Oh If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will
