    The Land of Lorne

    Come with me and wander through the bonnie Highland glens

    See the golden sunrise on the humble heather bens

    O’er the mist” moor and on the summer’s dewy morn

    Come see the pride of Scotland in the bonnie lands of Lorne

    The majesty of Morvern at the sunset’s even glow

    Still the silent grandeur and the splendors of Glencoe

    The thrill of dawning chorus, hear the curlew call

    And the mavis singing praises to the bonnie lands of Lorne

    The white mists shrouding picture by lone Loch Etive’s shore

    Bravely soars the eagle o’ er the crags of Buchaille Mor

    The singing tumbling shadows of the tide at Lora Falls

    Scenes from Scotland’s grandeur in the bonnie land of Lorne

    There’s a friendly welcome waiting and many joys to share

    In the lands of rugged mountain and the loch of crested wave

    Where the highland hearts are loyal and fervent is their song

    As they praise and laud beauties in the bonnie Land of Lorne ‘

    Tho’ the world holds many wonders and though far and wide we roam

    When life’s twilight hour is closing and the race is nearly o’ er

    Haste me then to highland homeland, lay me there to wait the dawn

    Let the trumpet rally wake me in the bonnie land of Lorne

    Not for me the English roses be they fragrant fresh and fair

    They are not the highland emblem that should grace my lowly grave

    Plant instead the purple heather, let its blooming bed adorn

    And diffuse its scented fragrance o’ er the bonnie lands of Lorne
