Amazing Scotland - Islands Of Scotland. • Beautiful - Scenery • More Music and Video At: • http://www.ianwrussell.com • • • • • • • • • Lyrics - Scots Abroad • They built the bridges and the tunnels • Climbed the hills that bear their names • Always first to charge in battle • And the first to charge again • You can recognise their accent • And they'll tell you that you're wrong but, • There is no mistaking where they're from • In the middle of the deepest jungle • There they are again • I flew across to China • And they met me off the plane • Wherever you may see them • Well they look like they belong but, • There is no mistaking where they're from • Chorus • They're from the streets of Aberdeen and the small border town • The Hebridean Islands and all the country round • They travelled to a new land and they sing a different song, but • There is no mistaking where they're from • There's a nurse at the mission • With a doctor standing by • And the old man in the corner • With a sad, whisky eye • And the tea-planter's widow • Now she's been here so long, but • There is no mistaking where they're from • Some are bad, some are good, • The angels and the thieves • The explorer, who finds the land • And never ever leaves • The weary adventurer, • Who just keep moving on, but • There is no mistaking where they're from • They're the ones who write the stories • And they never hesitate • To face up to the challenges • And punch above their weight • They live in every country • And they try to call it home, but, • There is no mistaking where they're from
