Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green |
|
Albany, whose mighty walls the people sheltered under |
|
Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free |
|
(This is Gordon McKenzie's story) |
|
Just like a song, a song that lasts forever |
|
(And the story of Albany, his family home) |
|
Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green |
|
Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under |
|
Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free |
|
Just like a song, a song that lasts forever |
|
Gordon was the eldest son, a golden eagle, so the story runs |
|
His brother Charles, dark as the raven |
|
One night in jealous rage and spite, the raven struck with all his might |
|
The eagle turned as quick as light and slew the raven |
|
Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green |
|
Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under |
|
Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free |
|
Just like a song, a song that last forever |
|
See the king's men come riding through the heather |
|
McKenzie's life they cry and all his land |
|
Silent clansmen stand motionless together |
|
An English king won't have a Highland man |
|
So the king by his decree did raze and fire poor Albany |
|
To let the people see his power the island justice still prevails |
|
And according to the clansman's tales |
|
A golden eagle nests forever in her tower |
|
Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green |
|
Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under |
|
Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free |
|
Just like a song, a song that last forever |
|
Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green |
|
Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under |
|
Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free |
|
Just like a song, a song that last forever |
|
Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green |
|
Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter |
