Last night as I lay sleeping, a dream it came to me
I thought I heard a piper play the sweetest melody People gathered round a-dancing and singing so merrily They're all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free From the busy heart of Glasgow to Lochranza by the sea O're the water to Kintyre, the pretties pace you'll ever see To the pubs and bars of Oban, they're all proud of their old country They're all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free On the road to Drumnadrochid, there's music everywhere For the piper plays for Nessie a sweet and tender air Through Glengarry's running rivers, cascading to the sea To the tranquillity of Ullapool, ah now that's Scatland to me Come wild and windy weather, Caledonia ever free When the fiddle plays from Scotland, they hears the piper's song They came o'erthe sea to join him, they danced and they sang along From the granite city southward, on the road to bonny Dundee They're all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free Now if you ever come to Scotland, ever come to visit my home You can hear the piper playing, standing all alone For he plays from Edinburgh Castle, that looks out to the sea He'll have you singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free |

Driving through the wind and rain
Got my baby beside me too Baby, we're going home Just me and you I don't mind the drizzling rain Inside it is warm and dry Hey baby, we're going home I'll kiss the blues bye-bye See the raindrops dance on the highway a million starlights bright Baby, we've got to keep on trucking, Trucking tonight There's a truck stop sign up ahead Glistening in the rain Maybe we could stop a little while Then back on the road again So lay back your pretty little head And dream the night away Dream of a snow white pillow And a great big feather bed Driving through the wind and rain Got my baby beside me too Hey, baby, we're going home Just me and you |

Crimson moon
In the early morning Blue black sky Tell me why If she loves me My baby drives me wild Like a little child She's standing on the edge, she wants to learn to swim She looks in the water but she won't dive in Crimson moon Tell me why She's like a new spring flower Come out to play In a gray day in autumn She brightens up the day But does she know that winter's coming? Jack Frost in on his way You've got to hide little girl from his icy stare Run back to the sunshine he won't catch you there Run little girl run Crimson moon In the early morning Blue black sky Tell her I love her She will listen to you Tell her she can hear the heartbeat of an dragonfly In full flight Taste the spring water of a mountain stream And feel the burning kiss of a lover's dream Tell her I love her She will listen to you Tell her I love her She will know that it's true |

I'll sing you this October song
There's no song before it The words and tune are none of my own For my joys and sorrows bore it Beside the sea the brambly briars ln the still of evening Birds fly out behind the sun And with them l'll be leaving The faIIen leaves that jewel the ground They know the art of dying And leave with joy their glad gold hearts In scarlet shadows Iying When hunger calls my footsteps home The morning follows after l swim the seas within my mind And the pine trees laugh green Iaughter l used to search for happiness l used to follow pleasure But l found a door behind my mind And that's the greatest treasure For rulers like to lay down laws And rebels like to break them And the poor priests like to walk in chains l met a man whose name was time He said I must be going But just how long ago that was l have no way of knowing Somelimes l want to murder time Sometimes when my heart's aching But mostly l just stroll along The path that he is taking l'll sing you this October Song There is no song before it The words and tune are none of my own For my joys and sorrows bore it Beside the sea the brambly briars In the cool of evening The birds fly out behind the sun And with them l'll be Ieaving |

Sitting on the river bank
Watching the water flow Sitting here thinking and wondering Which way to go? How the river sings the sweetest songs in a million harmonies But the sun shines brighter on the other side That's where l want to be So please mister ferryman Won't you take me to the other side Where the songbirds sing for me Where life is led by the hand of fate That's how it ought to be When the evening shadows reach out At the setting of the sun Will l still be wishing and a-wondering When the morning comes? For l once could swim against the tide Iike the salmon who swims for home But I'll be happy now just to hitch a ride And make it on my own So please mister ferryman Won't you take me to the other side Where the songbirds sing for me Where life is led by the hand of fate That's how it ought to be Well I'll take you says the ferryman But if l should close my eyes And fall asleep before we land You must take these oars and forever more Be at my command |

My Donald he works on the sea
Where the waves they blow wild and free He splices the ropes, he sets the sail. Southward he goes, in search of the whale He never thinks of me left behind Nor the torments that rage in my mind He's mine for only half part of the year Then leaves me behiind, with nothing but a tear Oh you ladies who smell the wild rose Think for the perfume to where a man goes Think of the women, the children that yearn For men never return from hunting the sperm Oh my Donald he works on the sea Where the waves they blow wild and free He splices the ropes, he sets the sail. Southward he goes, in search of the whale |

While walking along on a rocky sea shore
On a wild wet windy day I heard a sweet voice cry in the wind Saying "Lover come to me" O'er the jagged rocks I scrambled Fingers cut down to the core Saw the light of a lady She was sitting alone on the shore "Lady all alone please tell me, Why do you cry for me? Why do sit in the cold and sing, Sing out to the sea?" "Well I sing for my loved ones Lost in the silvery sea Sing for my homeland so dear Sing to draw your heart near. So please kind sir will you help me To find my way home I've travelled the seven blue oceans. Now I'm stranded here all alone My brothers they are dying From a plague running wild and free Their bodies all covered in the blackest of oil That floats on top of the sea. And my sisters are in hiding Afraid others may see their shame Their bodies all twisted, broken and lame Deep in the watery main. So please kind sir will you help me To find my way home I've travelled the seven blue oceans, How I'm stranded here all alone. If you promise you will take me To the edge of the silvery sea I'll give you all your heart's desires All your eyes they do see" O'er the jagged rocks I carried her To the edge of the silvery sea I laid her down and kissed her sweet lips Saying "Lover, now you are free" But she clung on to my arms And she would not let me be She clung on so fast she pulled me down Down to the bottom of the sea |
