PIPER IN THE GLEN
(Connor / Carr)

as recorded by Maxine Sullivan
with The Victor Ash Quartet
February 1954 London


Though far across the foam
In a strange land I may roam,
My home by old Loch Lomond calls to me.
I may wander here and there,
But it doesn't matter where,
I'm still haunted by a plaintive melody.

I can hear the piper in the glen,
Seems he's playin' "A-Will Ye No Come Back Again?",
'Tis then my memory blows
Where the purple heather grows,
When I hear the piper in the glen.

A gentle voice is calling me to land,
It's my loved one in the bonny Highlands.
Loving arms will hold me once again
When I hear the piper in the glen.

A gentle voice is calling me to land,
It's my loved one in the bonny Highlands.
Loving arms will hold me once again
When I hear the piper in the glen,
When I hear the piper in the glen.
