From the loins of a fisherman
From the
harbour of Crail he went sailing
And his
first born son left the rolling sea
Went
into the earth to make his living
No light
of the sun did he ever see
And the coal it
broke and scarred him
And in his heart was
the chilling fear
That same day the mine
would take him
But far freedom's fight in
the H.L.I.
On a foreign field he was
taken
And the pension left in his
daughter's hand
Had to love and feed the
children
Oh Caledonia
Caledonia
Oh Caledonia
She quartered at a Rose
Street Inn
She favoured the capitals
gentlemen
And from shame she saved the
family name
Made a husband of a lover
From their union come a rhyming man
With
his band he crossed the oceon
And the pride
of Caledonio
Made his name
