I see the land where I was a boy. We came from Sweden And made good time reaching north of Scalpay, I see the land where I was a boy. If I were ordered, I would willingly Lower the boat and sail home I see the land where I was a boy. I see the fisherman at the net And I'd love to be there in the gloaming, fishing. I see the land where I was a boy. I see Manais and Kintail Kyle of Berneray and the shores of Pabbay I see the land where I was a boy. Then said Hugh as he came to meet me "Won't you look at the 'Goddy' at the ToeHead I see the land where I was a boy. When December comes I'll leave "The Suna" And I hope, with joy, to go home I see the land where I was a boy. some recordings on youtube Runrig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpWmmVdLpU4>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpWmmVdLpU4 Willie John Macaulay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvZkCbRbWuo Norman McKinnon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGGRnrdcMt4 |
