Oh a far croonin is pullin me
away As I take I wi my
cromak to the road The far
Cuillins are puttin love on me
As step I wi the sunlight for my load
Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch
and Lochaber I will go By
heather tracks wi heaven in the wilds
If its thinkin in your inner hert braggarts in my
step You’ve never smelt
the tangle O the isles
Oh The far Cuillins are puttin love on me
As step I wi my cromak to the isles
Its by Shiel water the track is
to the west By Aillort and
by Morar to the sea The
cool cresses I am thinkin o for pluck
And bracken for a wink on Mothers knee
Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch
and Lochaber I will go By
heather tracks wi heaven in the wilds
If its thinkin in your inner hert braggarts in yir
step You’ve never smelt
the tangle O the isles
Oh The far Cuillins are puttin love on me
As step I wi my cromak to the isles
It's the Blue Islands are pullin
me away Their laughter
puts a leap upon the lame
The Blue Islands from the Skerries to the Lews
Wi heather honey taste upon each name
Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch
and Lochaber I will go By
heather tracks wi heaven in the wilds
If its thinkin in your inner hert braggarts in my
step You’ve never smelt
the tangle O the isles
Oh The far Coollins are puttin love on me
As step I wi my cromak to the isles
NB
The 'Cromack' is the shepherds crook or a walking
stick!
