Norland Wind

Norland Wind - Norland Wind/Angelika Nielsen/Kerstin Blodig/Noel Duggan

Tell me what was on yer road

Ye roarin' norlan' wind

As ye cam' blawin' frae the north that's niver frae my mind

My feet they've travelled england

But I'm longing for I'm deein' for the north

My man I saw the siller tides rin up the Firth o'Forth

Aye wind I ken them weel enuich

And the fine they fa' an' rise

Fain I'd feel the creepin' mist

On yonder shore on yonder shore that lies

So tell me 'ere ye passed them by what saw ye

On yer way what saw ye on yer way

My man I rocked the rovin' gulls that sailed abune the tay

But saw ye naething leein' wind afore ye cam' tae fife

Afore ye cam' tae fife

There's muckle lyin' 'yont the tay

That's mair to me mair to me nor life

My man I swept the angus braes ye ha'ena trod for years

Oh wind forgie a hameless loon that canna see

That canna see for tears

Far abune the angus straths

I heard the wild geese flee I heard the wild geese flee

A lang skein o' beatin' wings wi' their heids towards the sea

And aye their roarin' voices trailed ahint them on the air

Oh wind hae mercy haud yer whist for I daurna listen mair
