"Leezie Lindsay"
(Boo Hewerdine / Eddi Reader / Traditional)

Oh the lights in the city are like diamonds
The street lamps, the signs and the cars
Though it's bright in the city what are diamonds?
When they're turning out all of our stars

Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay
Wid ye gang tae the Hielands wi' me
Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay
My pride and my darling to be

It's so loud in this town Leezie Lindsay
The worry and the working and the noise
Now we cannae hear the birds when they're singing
And the river is losing it's voice

Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay
Wid ye gang tae the Hielands wi' me
Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay
My pride and my darling to be

When you are by me Leezie Lindsay
I'm not afraid to be alone
We can live anywhere that we choose to
When I'm with you I know that I'm home

Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay
Wid ye gang tae the Hielands wi' me
Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay
My pride and my darling to be
My pride and my darling to be
My pride and my darling to be
