Beyond the Cheviots and the TweedA
Beyond the Firth of ForthB
My memory returns at speedA
To Scotland and the NorthB
-
For still I keep and ever shallC
A warm place in my heart for ScotlandD
Scotland ScotlandD
A warm place in my heart for ScotlandD
-
Oh cruel off St Andrew's BayE
The winds are wont to blowF
They either rest or gently playE
When there in dreams I goF
-
And there I wander young againG
With limbs that do not tireH
Along the coast to Kittock's DenG
With whinbloom all afireI
-
I climb the Spindle Rock and lieJ
And take my doubtful easeK
Between the ocean and the skyJ
Derided by the breezeK
-
Where coloured mushrooms thickly growF
Like flowers of brittle stalkL
To haunted Magus Muir I goF
By Lady Catherine's WalkL
-
In dreams the year I linger throughM
In that familiar townN
Where all the youth I ever knewM
Burned up and flickered downN
-
There's not a rock that fronts the seaO
There's not an inland groveP
But has a tale to tell to meO
Of friendship or of loveQ
-
And so I keep and ever shallC
The best place in my heart for ScotlandD
Scotland ScotlandD
The best place in my heart for ScotlandD
