Lyrics

Last night as I lay sleeping, a dream it came to me
 I thought I heard a piper play the sweetest melody
 People gathered round a-dancing and singing so merrily
 They're all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
 Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
 From the busy heart of Glasgow to Lochranza by the sea
 O're the water to Kintyre, the pretties pace you'll ever see
 To the pubs and bars of Oban, they're all proud of their old country
 They're all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
 Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
 On the road to Drumnadrochid, there's music everywhere
 For the piper plays for Nessie a sweet and tender air
 Through Glengarry's running rivers, cascading to the sea
 To the tranquillity of Ullapool, ah now that's Scatland to me
 Come wild and windy weather, Caledonia ever free
 When the fiddle plays from Scotland, they hears the piper's song
 They came o'erthe sea to join him, they danced and they sang along
 From the granite city southward, on the road to bonny Dundee
 They're all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
 Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
 Now if you ever come to Scotland, ever come to visit my home
 You can hear the piper playing, standing all alone
 For he plays from Edinburgh Castle, that looks out to the sea
 He'll have you singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
 Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
