Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies
lonely road to Babylon.
Where's my family and my country?
Heaven knows where I belong.
Pack my bags tonight
here's one Jacobite who must leave or surely die.
Put me on a train in the pouring rain
Say farewell but don't say good-bye.
Seagull
carry me over land and sea
To my own folk
that's where I wanna be.
Ev'ry beat of my heart tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm qoing home !
One more glass of wine just for auld lang syne:
And the girl I left behind.
How I miss her now in my darkest hour
and the way our arms entwine.
Seagull
carry Ine over land and sea . . .
And we'll drink a toast to the blood of the red rose
Cheer a while the Emerald Isle.
And to the northern lights and the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry.
Seagull
carry me over land and sea . . .
Ev'ry beat of my heart tears me further apart
I'm lost and I'm alone in the dark
I'm going home ! I'm going home !
