1
From the lines of a fisherman
2
From the harbour of Crail he went sailing
3
And his first born son left the rolling sea
4
Went into the earth to make his living
5
No light of the sun did he ever see
6
And the coal it broke and scarred him
7
And in his heart was the chilling fear
8
That some day the mine would take him
9
But for freedom's fight in the H.L.I.
10
On a foreign field he was taken
11
And the pension left in his daughter's hand
12
Had to love and feed the children
13
Oh Caledonia Caledonia Oh Caledonia
14
She quartered at a Rose Street Inn
15
She favoured the capital´s gentlemen
16
And from shame she saved the family name
17
Made a husband of a lover
18
From their union come a rhyming man
19
With his band he crossed the ocean
20
And the pride of Caledonia
21
Made his name
22
Oh Caledonia Caledonia Oh Caledonia Caledonia
23
