Leezie Lindsay Lyrics

Oh the lights in this city are like diamonds
The street lamps, the signs and the cars
Though it's bright in the city what are diamonds?
When they're turning out all of our stars
chorus
Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay
Wid ye gang tae the Hielands wi' me
Wid ye gang tae the Hielands Leezie Lindsay
My pride and my darling to be
It's so loud in this town Leezie Lindsay
The worry and the working and the noise
Now we cannae hear the birds when they're singing
And the river is losing it's voice
chorus
When you are by me Leezie Lindsay
I'm not afraid to be alone
We can live anywhere that we chose to
When I'm with you I know that I'm home
chorus

Chorus written by Robert Burns
