Piper McCrimmon transcribed:

Piper McCrimmon

registered writer/composer Hestor Nicol
Pub. Kerr's Music.

Introduction:

As I sit here alone, in the cool evening shade.
And look down on the glen where McCrimmon once played.
Like the cool crystal water, of yon mountain stream.
I hear the sweet melody, played in my dream....

Through the woodland, onto the shieling.
Once again I hear this refrain.
Through the forest, quietly steeling,
Ever enchanting I hear it again.

Lilting pipes are echoing eerliy,
Over valley, mountain and ben.
Piobaireachd sounding, restlessly, wearily.
Piper McCrimmon is haunting the glen.

Now I hear McCrimmon's farewell,
the golden sun sinks low in the west.
Still the woodland's under his spell
McCrimmon the piper has come home to rest.

Chorus:

Lilting pipes....
Piper McCrimmon is haunting the glen.
Piper McCrimmon is haunting the glen.
