The Call of the Highlands

The Call of the Highlands Oh I'd love a day out in the heather, With a ghillie a gun and a stick, I'd stalk 'cross the moors, crawl about on all fours All the way from Fort William to Wick. Oh I'd love to catch fish in the river, Cast my line, it's no problem you see, For the fish that I catch will find they're no match For a quick-witted lassie like me. Oh I'd love to go riding on horseback, 'cross the valley the glen and the moor. I'd gallop all day o're the banks and the brae, And come back a bit saddle sore. Oh I think that maybe on reflection, If it's snowy, or if the wind roars, That I'll find me a nook, cuddle up with a book, By a nice cosy fire - indoors!
