Caledonia — текст песни (Dan Mccafferty)

From the loins of a fisherman

From the harbour of crail he went sailing

And his first born son left the rolling sea

Went into the earth to make his living

No light of the sun did he ever see

And the coal it broke and scarred him

And in his heart was the chilling fear

That same day the mine would take him

But far freedoms fight in the h.l.i.

On a foreign field he was taken

And the pension left in his daughters hand

Had to love and feed the children

Oh caledonia

Caledonia

Oh caledonia

She quartered at a rose street inn

She favoured the capitals gentlemen

And from shame she saved the family name

Made a husband of a lover

From their union come a rhyming man

With his band he crossed the oceon

And the pride of caledonio

Made his name



Oh caledonia

Caledonia

Oh caledonia

Caledonia

August, 15, 1989: one hundned men from all over the world sailed

Across the sea, hoping to discover an island somewhere beyond the

Horizon... nowhere-land. they left their wives and children behind,

Hoping that someday they shall follow...
