Lyrics composed by
John Henderson on the 31st January, 2008,
to William Kernell's 1928 music for "Sally Of My Dreams',
the theme song of one of the first film 'talkies', "Mother Knows
Best".
Brief Introduction ....
Syne the East Neuk o Fife's
Whaur Ah've been alane fer aa ma life
Wi'oot a lass tae caa ma jo
Tho' Ah've huntit hich an low
Bit since Ah've fun ye

An mak aa oor dreamin come tae be?
Ay, lassie
Sae bonnie tae ony een
The day we'll be whusperin
'I luv ye'
