lyrics

I’ve been away; I’ve travelled so hard,
Been all at sea Rabbie ma Bard,
Been chasing the deer and following the roe,
Your music it fills me wherever I go.

Chorus
Been to the Highlands and been to the Lowlands,
Now I’m a-longing to sit by your side;
Crossed the wild streams, I’ve followed my dreams,
I’ll be your prentice if you be my guide?

Oh what I’d give to walk in your shoes,
No words can explain my feelings for you,
My heart is not here, but there on your shore,
Where hope it springs forth and love it does pour.

I’m on my way; I’m rovin’ once more,
I’m homeward bound to your front door,
Maker o’ rhymes, I’ll ring your bell,
I’ll write a new song wi’ your good sel’.
