Henry's Songbook

Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From the English Border to the North Sea water
From the Western Islands to the Northern Highlands
This land was made for you and me

One summer's morning as the day was dawning
I viewed the islands on the misty skyline
The rainbow fountains of the Cuillin Mountains
This land was made for you and me

Cold winter crept on as Scotland slept on
No factory roaring, no oil-rig boring
Just weeded by-ways and deserted highways
Relics of the life that used to be

Then I awakened to a spring day breaking
To the sons and daughters of Alba's waters
And the flag they're flying is the rampant lion
This land was made for you and me

(as sung by Gaberlunzie)

[1976:] An American patriot, Woody Guthrie wrote This Land Is Your Land for his own country. This is a Scottish version. (Notes Gaberlunzie, 'Wind and Water, Time and Tide')
