Bobby O'Brien Lyr Req/Add: Take Me Back (Andy Stewart) (21) Lyr Add: BONNIE SCOTLAND (from Margo) 11 Feb 97


This song's correct title is "Bonnie Scotland" and here are the words:

BONNIE SCOTLAND
Songwriter??

1. In a foreign [or "far and"?] distant land
By a fair and sunny strand,
There I met a highland laddie in the mornin';
And he sang me this song
As we proudly marched along
Of the land of lochs and glens and silver seas:

CHORUS: Take me back; take me back again,
Where heather hills are high,
And I'll hear the mavis singin' in the mornin';
For there's no place on earth
Just like the homeland of my birth.
Bonnie Scotland, I am comin' home to you.

2. Oh, great wonders I've seen
In this country I have been,
And there's beauty in the land where I have wandered;
And big cities I have walked
From Sydney to New York
But give me my lochs and glens and silver seas. CHORUS

3. Oh, great wonders I've seen
In this country I have been,
And there's beauty in the lands where I have wandered;
But while I travel free,
Still my heart keeps callin' me
To the land of lochs and glens and silver seas. CHORUS
