LyricsHUSH HUSHChorus:Hush hush, time tae be sleepin' Hush hush, dreams come a-creepin' Dreams o' peace and o' freedom So smile in your sleep, bonny baby.
Once our valleys were ringin' Wi' sounds o' oor children singin' But now sheep bleat in the evenin' And shielings lie empty an' broken.
Chorus
We stood wi' heads bowed in prayer While factors burned our cottages fair Flames licked the clear mountain air And many were dead by the mornin'
Chorus Where was our fierce Highland mettle Oor men once fearless in battle Now stand, cowed, huddled like cattle And wait tae be shipped o'er the ocean
Chorus No use in cryin' or pleadin' Gone, gone, a' hope o' stayin' So hush hush, the anchor's a-weighin' Don't cry in your sleep, bonny baby
Chorus
COME BY THE HILLSCome by the hills tae the land where fancy is free Stand where the peaks meet the sky and the lochs meet the sea Where the river runs clear and bracken is gold in the sun And the cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done.
Come by the hills tae the land where life is a song Sing where the birds fill the air wi' their joy all day long Where the trees sway in time and even the wind is in tune And the cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done.
Come by the hills tae the land where legend remains Where stories of old fill the heart and may yet come again For the past it is lost and our future is yet tae be won And the cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done.
Come by the hills tae the land where fancy is free Stand where the peaks meet the sky and the lochs meet the sea Where the river runs clear and bracken is gold in the sun And the cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done. And the cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done.
KISHORN COMMANDOSChorus: We're the Kishorn Commandos way up in Wester Ross We never had a gaffer, never had a boss We built the biggest oil rig ye've ever come across Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos. Repeat chorus Early every morning we get wakened by a shout Get up ye idle buggers, won't ye get yer finger out What do we get for breakfast? Seven pints o' stout Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos Chorus We're the toughest bunch o' navvies that you have ever met We'll work or fight wi' anyone and you can take a bet There may be some men tougher, we haven't found them yet Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos Chorus We never joined the Navy, we never joined the RAF Never joined the Army, we're no sae bloody daft We'd rather go to Kishorn, get paid for skivin' off Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos. Chorus We're the Kishorn Commandos, way up in Wester Ross We never had a gaffer, never had a boss We built the biggest oil rig ye've ever come across Remember we're the Kishorn Commandos.
CALEDONIAby Dougie Maclean I don' know if you can see The changes that have come over me These last few days I've bin afraid, might drift away. I've bin tellin' old stories, singin' songs Made me think about where I come from That's the reason why I seem so far away today.
Chorus
An' let me tell you that I love you That I think about you a' the time Caledonia you're callin' me, now I'm goin' home If I should become a stranger Know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia's bin everythin I've ever had.
Now I have moved, I've kept on movin' Proved the points that I needed provin' Lost the friends that I needed losin' Found others on the way I have kissed the ladies, left them cryin' Stolen dreams, there's no denyin' I've travelled hard, sometimes wi' conscience flyin' Somewhere wi' the wind Chorus Now I'm sittin here before a fire Empty room, the forest choir The fames have cooled, can't get any higher They've withered now they're gone But I'm steady thinkin' my way is clear 'Nd I know what I will do tomorrow When the hands are shaken and the kisses flow I will disappear
Chorus
NAVER BAYChorus: Where the Naver meets the sea That's the place I long to be Where the crofters tend their sheep and make their hay Workin' on a threshin' mill Back in bonny Bettyhill In a place that's known as Bonny Naver Bay.
You can go to Kirtomy That's a place beside the sea
Or to Hope or Tongue a few miles further west Ah but if I had my way I would stay by Naver Bay It is the place I dearly love the best. Chorus There's the waters o' Kylesku And the bonny cave at Smoo Ben Klibreck and Ben Loyal they are grand Oh but how I long to be In my home beside the sea In a place that's known as Bonny Naver Bay. Chorus Oh if ever you come North Just come to my place of birth Forget about Loch Lomond and Loch Tay Build your castles in the sand In my home in Sutherland In a place that's known as Bonny Naver Bay Chorus Repeat last line of chorus.
