Often alone I think of you rolling mountains covered in a purple haze both in highlands and lowlands too running water so pure sparkling bright making our whisky a natural delight Caledonia - the land of my dreams
I hear music played from the heart oh' the sound of pipes and drums heart racing hairs standing on end poetry filling my eyes with tears recited at suppers year after year in celebration of bards no longer here Caledonia - the land of my dreams
Men wearing tartan skirts with nothing underneath dancing between swords at highland gatherings playing games testing their manhood eating haggis a pudding often misunderstood porridge,shortbread, salmon and oatcakes quality food that is for sure Caledonia - the land of my dreams
History remembered with pride Mary Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie Wallace, Culloden and Nessie too some myths, some true castles, lochs, bridges and glens places where lassies are called hen where houses are often **** un bens people answering with ah' ken Celtic blood running through my veins makes me glad I am alive and living here Caledonia - the land of my dreams
