W:(Chorus)
W:Sure by Tummel and Lock Rannock and Lockaber I will go,
W:By heather tracks with heaven in their wiles;
W:If its thinkin' in your inner heart braggart's in my step,
W:You've never smelt the tangle of the Isles.
W:
W:It's the blue Islands are pullin' me away,
W:Their laughter puts the leap upon the lame.
W:The blue Islands from the Skerries to the Lews
W:With heather honey taste upon each name.
