Caledonia Lyrics by Dan Mccafferty

Caledonia Lyrics

    From the loins of a fisherman
    From the harbour of crail he went sailing
    And his first born son left the rolling sea
    Went into the earth to make his living
    No light of the sun did he ever see
    And the coal it broke and scarred him
    And in his heart was the chilling fear
    That same day the mine would take him
    But far freedom's fight in the h.l.i.
    On a foreign field he was taken
    And the pension left in his daughter's hand
    Had to love and feed the children
    Oh caledonia
    Caledonia
    Oh caledonia
    She quartered at a rose street inn
    She favoured the capitals gentlemen
    And from shame she saved the family name
    Made a husband of a lover
    From their union come a rhyming man
    With his band he crossed the oceon
    And the pride of caledonio
    Made his name

    Oh caledonia
    Caledonia
    Oh caledonia
    Caledonia

    {side two begins}
    August, 15, 1989: one hundned men from all over the world sailed
    Across the sea, hoping to discover an island somewhere beyond the
    Horizon... nowhere-land. they left their wives and children behind,
    Hoping that someday they shall follow...
