Subject: RE: Lyr req: Bogle-Across the Hills of Home
Hi, Bob,

I have the song (what I listed is the title) on a CD called "The Eric Bogle Songbook". It says it is from his recording, "Something of Value" & is based on a poem by James MacArthur. It's a beautiful song. The chorus goes "You take the low road; I'll take the high; and back to Scotland, my spirit will fly, to see thee more more time before I die. You take the low road and I'll take the high." I'd love to sing it, but there are a few words scattered through it which I simply can't understand. Any help would be appreciated.
