john edmond - the scottish pioneer lyrics

Loading...

at sixteen years
he was a man
he left a heather covered land
to soldier for a foreign cause
campaigning in their foreign wars

at sixteen years
wounded was he
his body torn in misery
and roundabout him the war did rage
this veteran of such young age

[chorus]
the rampant lion
the misty glen
the blethering berns and
the mighty bend
these were things
that were so dear
to the scottish pioneer

the war was over
the world was torn
and torment in his soul was born
but wanderl-st had taken hold
he sailed away to look for gold
in heartless lands of great extreme
he set out to fulfill his dreams
and toiling under the tropic skies
men around him died like flies

[chorus]
the rampant lion
the misty glen
the blethering berns and
the mighty bend
these were things
that were so dear
to the scottish pioneer

the likes of him
have lent a hand
to build this new and promised land
and now he feels his work is done
out in the land of burning sun
he will not sweat or toil no more
his body cries for misty sh0r-s
and the green hills are calling him
like a wee gowk in the wind

[chorus]
the rampant lion
the misty glen
the blethering berns and
the mighty bend
these were things
that were so dear
to the scottish pioneer
