lyrics

Tae the reek o' the rushing tideways
Tae the fling o' their froth and foam
Tae the spouting hedge, by the iron ledge
O' skerry and reef and holm.

CHORUS
Isles ne'er forgotten,
Be your sons afar alone
Or ringed they be by their ain native sea
Waes hale, they drink tae their own.

Tae the brochs o' forgotten builders
Each howe wi' its spectral wraith
Tae the ruins' hoar, by the ancient shore
O' the kirks o' the ancient faith.

CHORUS
Isles ne'er forgotten,
Be your sons afar alone
Or ringed they be by their ain native sea
Waes hale, they drink tae their own.

Tae the riven rock rims around them
Tae stack and skerry and geo
Tae the cliffs piled high wi' their heads in the sky
and their feet in the surge below.

CHORUS
Isles ne'er forgotten,
Be your sons afar alone
Or ringed they be by their ain native sea
Waes hale, they drink tae their own.
