Fare ye well Caledonia

Will ye miss me afore a go.

Fur a will miss yer rain hail an snow.

And yer mountainous ranges that run doon tae the sea.

The nectar of the god’s that will last eternally.

I will miss yer lochs so blue and green.

The northern lights a sight to be seen.

Your people sae real and heart’s filled wae kindness.

Yer fabled monster in the dark depth’s of Loch Ness.

Loch Lomond so long tae long tae conceive.

Autumn forest’s of splendorous colours  blended

through yer tree’s and leaves.

I will steal from you in ma minds eye.

Cool mountain streams that rush and gush from

your side like a lullaby.

For yer beauty is there whether by day or night.

Ye brave yersel well against natures fight

Makes nae difference fur its there fur awe tae see.

And very soon on your shores a will no longer be.

Ye have been ma lovely mistress from the day o’ ma birth.

An ye’ll be ma keeper constant companion  tae the day a die. 

Will ye ever know how a feel aboot ye and how much a value yer worth.

An ye will stay in ma soul when awe around me deserts fur ye ur the motherland awe ma birth.

Will ye miss me as much as a will miss ye so.

Ye will be in ma heart nae matter a where a shall go.

Be it across great desserts , deep oceans or stormy sea’s

If a ever need tae find ye ah know jist where yell be.

Ah hope some day again yeh will be ma mistress.

For the thought of you brings me hope in those moments

of distress.

Visions of your mountains so tall strong and rugged awash with greenery.

Your a lady held in the highest esteem, showing all yer wonderful scenery.

Although the trains and boats and planes will take me away.

The thing that is certain, I will be drawn back tae ye some day.

So for now I will bid you a loving farewell.

For I know forever that you will keep me in yer spell.

Caledonia you hold me wae yer awesome power.

And yell live wae me tae ma dying hour.

In ma travels should ah find fortune on the way.

Ye know am proud tae be Scottish the Caledonian way
