J.P. Cormier - Gilgarry's Glen lyrics
'Twas a man from the Island of Sky, they say Came to the harsh land of this glen With his hands and his heart and the sweat of his brow He made the land good again Through his children the seeds of the music were passed And the secrets of tilling the land And the ocean nearby held a kinship so deep Giving food up into their hands And the folks in the cities have passed us by They don't know how they got there and don't care why But there's a place we recall all the hardships back then Down here in Gilgarry's Glen Generations passed by and the coal companies came And the younger men all moved away Progress, they said, couldn't wait on the dead And they wound up in early graves Soon the highways were finished and the trestles stood high As America took up the slack And there's many a Scot down in old Boston town Wishing that he could only get back And the folks in the cities have passed us by They don't know how they got there and don't care why But there's a place we recall all the hardships back then Down here in Gilgarry's Glen Nowadays life is simpler; the land now is still Now and then a few tourists stop by And they're charmed by the fiddlers whose tunes tell the tale Of that man from the Island of Sky And the folks in the cities have passed us by They don't know how they got there and don't care why But there's a place we recall all the good times back then Down here in Gilgarry's Glen Yes, if life came by twice, we'd all do it again Down here in Gilgarry's Glen |
