Through misty eyes I see lonely skies Lonely road to babylon
Where’s my family And my country Heaven knows I belong
Pack my bags tonight Here’s one jacobite Who must leave or surely
Put me on a train In the pouring rain Say farewell but don’t say goodbye
Chorus: Seagull carry me, over land and To my own folk, that’s where I to be Every beat of my heart Tears me apart I’m lost and alone in the dark I’m going home
One more glass of wine Just for lang syne And the girl I left behind
How I miss her In my darkest hour And the way our arms entwine
Chorus
And we’ll drink a toast To the blood rose Cheer a while the emerald isle
And to the northern lights And swirling pipes How they make a grown man cry
