Lyrics:
Chorus:
Oh take my ashes to Caledonia
I've fallen for her, I've fallen for her
The purple she wore on those windy shores
I've fallen for her for good
Verse:
Well I was but a girl on a train bound up north,
with books of the legends, and dreams of warm hearths
The little old pubs with their ales sang to me,
Like the lad in the corner who'd had whiskeys three
Chorus:
Oh take my ashes to Caledonia
I've fallen for her, I've fallen for her
The purple she wore on those windy shores
I've fallen for her for good
Verse:
Her lochs and her craggy hills, well they swam like her seas
Each turn a new world like a whim on the breeze
The mists they wrapped around me like the veil I did seek,
cause there'd be one fine Scotsman, just waiting for me
Chorus:
Oh take my ashes to Caledonia
I've fallen for her, I've fallen for her
The purple she wore on those windy shores
I've fallen for her for good
Verse:
Two rainbows they passed from the East to the West
One took the high road - the other's at rest
Now I know the place where my heart dares to flee
In Scotland, my love, where my soul can run free
Chorus:
Oh take my ashes to Caledonia
I've fallen for her, I've fallen for her
The purple she wore on those windy shores
I've fallen for her for good
...I've fallen for her for good
