Echoes of the Highlands
Dolly Parton

Verse 1:
In the misty air of the Highlands fair,
A tale's been passed down through the years,
From ancient castles to fields of green,
Echoes of Scotland, fit for a queen.

Chorus:
Oh, the bagpipes play, and the children dance,
Stories of old, in a timeless trance,
With a heart full of pride, I sing this song,
Of the heritage and culture where we belong.

Verse 2:
Brave hearts once fought in the glens and glades,
With kilts and tartans, their legacy stayed,
Loyal and true, they stand together,
Bound by a bond, no storm can sever.

Chorus:
Oh, the bagpipes play, and the children dance,
Stories of old, in a timeless trance,
With a heart full of pride, I sing this song,
Of the heritage and culture where we belong.

Bridge:
From the lochs so deep to the sky so wide,
Scotland's spirit can’t be denied,
Whispered in the wind, and sung by the sea,
A history rich, bound to be free.

Verse 3:
In the heart of the cities or on the quiet moors,
Traditions live on behind ancient doors,
With each clan's crest, and each woven plaid,
Dreams of our forebears won’t ever fade.

Chorus:
Oh, the bagpipes play, and the children dance,
Stories of old, in a timeless trance,
With a heart full of pride, I sing this song,
Of the heritage and culture where we belong.

Outro:
As long as there’s breath, and the heather blooms,
Our tales will rise under Highland moons,
In every heart, Scottish blood will sing,
A love for the past, and all it brings.
Oh, the echoes of the Highlands, forever they'll stay,
In heritage and culture, we're here to pray.
