Oh beautiful Oban with your lovely bay	A
Your surroundings are magnificent on a fine summer day	A
There the lover of the picturesque can behold	B
As the sun goes down the scenery glittering like gold	B
	-
And on a calm evening behind the village let him climb the hill	C
And as he watches the sun go down with delight his heart will fill	C
As he beholds the sun casting a golden track across the sea	D
Clothing the dark mountains of Mull with crimson brilliancy	D
	-
And on a sunny morning 'tis delightful to saunter up the Dunstaffnage road	E
Where the green trees spread out their branches so broad	F
And as you pass the Lovers' Loan your spirits feel gay	A
As you see the leaflet float lightly on the sunny pathway	A
	-
And when you reach the little gate on the right hand	G
Then turn and feast your eyes on the scene most grand	G
And there you will see the top of Balloch an Righ to your right	H
Until at last you will exclaim Oh what a beautiful sight	H
	-
And your mind with wonder it must fill	C
As you follow the road a couple of miles further till	C
You can see Bennefure Loch on the left hand	G
And the Castle of Dunstaffnage most ancient and grand	G
	-
Then go and see the waters of Loch Etive leaping and thundering	I
And flashing o'er the reef splashing and dundering	I
Just as they did when Ossian and Fingal watched them from the shore	J
And no doubt they have felt delighted by the rapids' thundering roar	J
	-
Then there's Ganevan with its sparkling bay	A
And its crescent of silver sand glittering in the sun's bright array	A
And Dunolly's quiet shores where sea crabs abide	K
And its beautiful little pools left behind by the tide	K
	-
Then take a sail across to Kerrera some day	A
And see Gylen Castle with its wild strewn shore and bay	A
With its gigantic walls and towers of rocks	D
Shivered into ghastly shapes by the big waves' thundering shocks	D
	-
Then wander up Glen Crootyen past the old village churchyard	L
And as you pass for the dead have some regard	L
For it is the road we've all to go	I
Sooner or later both the high and the low	I
	-
And as you return by the side of the merry little stream	M
That comes trotting down the glen most charming to be seen	N
Sometimes wimpling along between heather banks	D
And slipping coyly away to hide itself in its merry pranks	D
	-
Then on some pleasant evening walk up the Glen Shellach road	E
Where numberless sheep the green hillside often have trod	O
And there's a little farmhouse nestling amongst the trees	D
And its hazel woods climbing up the brae shaking in the breeze	D
	-
And Loch Avoulyen lies like a silver sea with its forests green	N
With its fields of rushes and headlands most enchanting to be seen	N
And on the water like a barge anchored by some dreamland shore	J
There wild fowls sit mirrored by the score	J
	-
And this is beautiful Oban where the tourist seldom stays above a night	H
A place that fills the lover of the picturesque with delight	H
And let all the people that to Oban go	I
View it in its native loveliness and it will drive away all woe	I
	-
Oh beautiful Oban with your silvery bay	A
'Tis amongst your Highland scenery I'd like to stray	A
During the livelong summer day	A
And feast my eyes on your beautiful scenery enchanting and gay	A
