uist tramping song

chorus :
C
come along , come along , let us foot it out together ,
Am C F G
come along , come along , be it fair or stormy weather .
F C Am F
with the hills of home before us and the purple of the heather ,
C Am F C
let us sing in happy chorus come along! come along!

C
so gaily sings the lark and the sky is awake ,
Am C F G
with the promise of a new day for the road we gladly take .
F C Am F
so its heel and toe and forward singing fairwell to the town ,
C Am F C
and the welcome that awaits us e’re the sun goes down .

its the call of sea and shore; its the tang of bog and peat ,
and the scent of briar and myrtle that puts magic in our feet .
so its on we go rejoicing , over bracken over stile ,
and its soon we will be tramping out the last long mile .
