Homeland (Duthaich Mo Chridhe) - Dougie MacLean[00:00:01]
Written by:Douglas Menzies MacLean[00:00:07]
You're a stranger to these hills[00:00:15]
And you've come up here to end your days[00:00:17]
And you love our running rivers[00:00:22]
And you love our quaint little highland little ways[00:00:24]
You sold your house in the city[00:00:29]
And you put it on the market and you did so good[00:00:31]
Now you've bought a simple little piece of something[00:00:36]
That you don't understand and you've misunderstood[00:00:38]
But I'll tell you about the land that you play on[00:00:43]
What you've gained is our ultimate loss[00:00:46]
I'll tell you about the soil you decay on[00:00:50]
I'll hold it up to you like the Fiery Cross[00:00:53]
Are you love the view from your window[00:01:00]
And you'd go out more but it always rains[00:01:02]
You don't think much of the music[00:01:07]
Or the tears in the old man's sad refrains[00:01:09]
You've bought yourself miles of tartan[00:01:14]
And you wear it round your middle and you wear it on[00:01:16]
Your head[00:01:19]
You stand there a proud believer in a vision[00:01:21]
Of the truth that's long gone dead[00:01:24]
But I'll tell you about the land that you play on[00:01:28]
What you've gained is our ultimate loss[00:01:31]
I'll tell you about the soil you decay on[00:01:35]
I'll hold it up to you like the Fiery Cross[00:01:38]
Once these glens were full of people and the songs[00:01:48]
And stories of their fathers of old[00:01:51]
And there was peace and plenty and a horn of[00:01:55]
Whiskey when the weather grew cold[00:01:58]
Then along came the great improvers[00:02:01]
Ad they cleaned it up like only imperials could[00:02:03]
They lined them up for transportation[00:02:06]
To the land of the brave and the free and the good[00:02:09]
Look to the south I tell you[00:02:16]
That the black man has it cruel and hard[00:02:18]
But you don't have to look any further[00:02:22]
That the rumble of stones in our own backyard[00:02:25]
And oh sad the day[00:02:29]
And all that's left are a fading few[00:02:32]
Yes sir you may have paid good money for it[00:02:36]
But no it'll never belong to you[00:02:39]
But I'll tell you about the land that you play on[00:02:43]
What you've gained is our ultimate loss[00:02:47]
I'll tell you about the soil you decay on[00:02:50]
I'll hold it up to you like the Fiery Cross[00:02:53]
I'll tell you about the land that you play on[00:02:56]
What you've gained is our ultimate loss[00:03:00]
I'll tell you about the soil you decay on[00:03:03]
I'll hold it up to you like the Fiery Cross[00:03:06]
