Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Home To Caledonia From: RunrigFan Date: 21 Feb 19 - 08:22 PM As the sun goes down on this island o'er the sea, I remember a sunset long ago; On the isle of my birth, far, far away Caledonia, I'm thinking of you. CHORUS Caledonia, Caledonia, Home to you, and always will be Caledonia, Caledonia, My thoughts oh will return to you. Verse 2 In my mind I have seen the cottage by the shore And the folk so dearly I love To a glen and the hills, of this little girl Caledonia's always in my thoughts CHORUS Caledonia, Caledonia, Home to you, and always will be Caledonia, Caledonia, My thoughts oh will return to you. Verse 3 As the end of the years go swiftly draws near, And I go to be with the ones I love How it saddens my heart when I toast alone Caledonia, to you I'm coming home CHORUS Caledonia, Caledonia, Home to you, and always will be Caledonia, Caledonia, My thoughts oh will return to you. CHORUS Caledonia, Caledonia, Home to you, and always will be Caledonia, Caledonia, My thoughts oh will return to you. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Home To Caledonia From: Allan Conn Date: 15 May 18 - 02:30 AM Third line so hard to make out but it might be "To a glen and forgive this little girl" And Joe basically has the last verse though I am sure it is "As the end of the year" rather than "As the end of my years" So someone feeling homesick/lovesick as the festive period grows near rather than because they are old!! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Home To Caledonia From: Allan Conn Date: 15 May 18 - 02:20 AM Second verse as best I could "In my mind I have seen the cottage by the shore And the folk so dearly I love To a glen........this little girl Caledonia's always in my thoughts" The third line is really hard to make out though. I think it starts with "To a glen" and might finish with "this little girl" but not sure about the end and just can't make out the words in between. Pretty sure the other three lines are correct. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Home To Caledonia From: Joe Offer Date: 09 May 17 - 03:49 AM OK, here's what I hear so far. Can anyone add to this? I need lots of help on the second verse. -Joe- As the sun goes down on this island o'er the sea, I remember a sunset long ago; On the isle of my birth, far, far away Caledonia, I'm thinking of you. CHORUS Caledonia, Caledonia, Home to me you are and always will be Caledonia, Caledonia, My thoughts will return to you. In my mind I have seen [the croppies by the shore] And the .... I love .... Caledonia .... As the end of my years so swiftly draws near, And I go to be with the ones I love How it saddens my heart when I toast alone Caledonia, to you I'm coming home |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Home To Caledonia From: Gallus Moll Date: 07 May 17 - 07:02 PM is this Rolling Home to Caledonia or another song? (I think the one I mentioned can be rolling home to a number of different places!) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Home To Caledonia From: Joe Offer Date: 07 May 17 - 05:13 PM Hi, RunrigFan - can you give us at least a partial transcription? It gives us more to go on. I found a 45cat (click) listing for the record (1978), but no source for a recording I could hear and transcribe. Thanks. -Joe- |
