<pre><font size='+2'>SCARBOROUGH SETTLERS LAMENT lyrics STAN ROGERS</font><br>              SCARBOROUGH SETTLER`S LAMENT<br />
<br />
Away wi` Canada`s muddy creeks<br />
And Canada`s fields of pine<br />
Your land of wheat is a goodly land,<br />
But oh, it is not mine<br />
The heathy hill, the grassy date.<br />
The daisy spangled lea, the purling burn and craggy linn, auld<br />
Scotland`s glens give me.<br />
<br />
Oh, I would like to hear again the lark on Tinny`s hill<br />
And see the wee bit gowany that blooms beside the rill.<br />
Like banished Swill who view afar his Alps with longing e`e.<br />
I gaze upon the morning star that shines on my country.<br />
<br />
No more I`ll win by Eskdale glen or Pentland`s craggy comb.<br />
The days can ne`er come back again of thirty years that`s gone,<br />
But fancy oft at midnight hour will steal across the sea.<br />
And yestereve, in a pleasant dream, I saw the old country.<br />
Each well-known scene that met my view brought childhood`s joys<br />
to mind.<br />
The blackbird sang on Tushey linn the song he sang, `lang syne.`<br />
But like a dream time flies away, again, the morning came.<br />
And I awoke in Canada, three thousand miles frae hame.<br />

SCARBOROUGH SETTLER`S LAMENT

Away wi` Canada`s muddy creeks
And Canada`s fields of pine
Your land of wheat is a goodly land,
But oh, it is not mine
The heathy hill, the grassy date.
The daisy spangled lea, the purling burn and craggy linn, auld
Scotland`s glens give me.

Oh, I would like to hear again the lark on Tinny`s hill
And see the wee bit gowany that blooms beside the rill.
Like banished Swill who view afar his Alps with longing e`e.
I gaze upon the morning star that shines on my country.

No more I`ll win by Eskdale glen or Pentland`s craggy comb.
The days can ne`er come back again of thirty years that`s gone,
But fancy oft at midnight hour will steal across the sea.
And yestereve, in a pleasant dream, I saw the old country.
Each well-known scene that met my view brought childhood`s joys
to mind.
The blackbird sang on Tushey linn the song he sang, `lang syne.`
But like a dream time flies away, again, the morning came.
And I awoke in Canada, three thousand miles frae hame.
