- A far croonin is pullin me away
As I take I wi my cromak to the road
The far Coollins are puttin love on me
As I step wi the sunlight for my load
Shur by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Locharber I willgo
By heather tracks wi heaven in their wiles
If its thinkin in your inner heart braggarts in my step
Youve never smelt the tangle O the isles
Oh the far coolins are puttin love on me
As step I wi' my cromak to the isles
.
- Its by Shiel water the track is to the west
By Aillort and by Morar to the sea
The cool cresses I am thinkin o for pluck
And bracken for a wink on Mothers knee
Chorus
- Its the Blue Islands are pullin me away
Their laughter puts a leap upon the lame
The Blue Islands ffom the Skerries to the Lews
Wi heather honey taste upon each name
Chorus
The 'Cromack' is the shepherds crook or a walking stick!
original air - Malcolm Johnson of Barra
