The Highland Road
(Words and Music Stewart Ross, Pub. EMI, c 1965)

Oh! The Highland Road is a long, long road - but it is the road for me.
So I'll travel far by Lochnagar and the valley of the Dee.
Then I'll march on west through Inverness to the Islands of the sea.
And I'll sing this song, as I stride along. It's the Highland Road for me.

Chorus:
Then I'll march along to a Scottish song, on the road that's wild and free.
Thro' the lonely glens by the mighty bens, it's the Highland Road for me.

Now I've travelled far 'neath a distant star and I've roamed the whole world wide.
But my thoughts aye turned and my heart aye yearned, for my own dear countryside.
For the Isle of Skye, with its Coolins high and the tang of bog and peat.
And the summer days on the bonnie braes, where the heather smells so sweet.
Chorus Then I'll march along to a Scottish song...

Now perhaps some day, when I'm old and grey I shall walk that road no more.
But I'll still recall - as the shadows fall, all the things I loved of yore.
All the joys I knew and the hearts so true, that I found along the way.
Till my dying day, how my thoughts will stray for my roads of yesterday.

Last Chorus:
Then I'll march along to a Scottish song, on the road that's wild and free.
Thro' the lonely glens, by the mighty bens, it's the Highland Road for me.
It's the Highland Road for me.
