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. CHORUS3. 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. CHORUSRecorded by Margo, on "Margo's Greatest Hits, Volume One," available through Irish Records International 617-878-7936.
