i hail from the flatlands of east anglia
a town that once could boast prosperity
she had trekked for many moons from a land afar
but the cruel nets had emptied the northen sea
and she said "hoots, i cannae get back tae
me hoos in bonny scotland"
girl with the hazel eyes - aaaaah!
girl with the hazel eyes - aaaaah!
the elements had taken their toll on her
her face was weather beaten and her hair greasy
i had never seen a set of eyes more hazelerer
and a tear did fall as she looked up at me
and she said "hoots, i cannae get back tae
me hoos in bonny scotland"
girl with the hazel eyes - aaaaah!
girl with the hazel eyes - aaaaah!
i shall travel with thee
for to see your folks in scotland
with their blessing, on one knee
i shall ask for your left hand
girl with the hazel eyes - aaaaah! [x4]
i shall travel with thee
for to see your folks in scotland
with their blessing, on one knee
i shall ask for your left hand |
