Celtic Folk Uist Tramping Song Lyrics

Uist Tramping Song

Come along, come along, let us foot it out together
Come along, come along, be it fair or stormy weather
With the hills of home before us and the purple of the heather
Let us sing in happy chorus, come along

So gaily sings the lark and the skys all awake
With the promise of the day and the road we gladly take
It's heel and toe and forward bidding farewell to the town
And the welcome that awaits us ere the sun goes down

Come along, come along, let us foot it out together
Come along, come along, be it fair or stormy weather
With the hills of home before us and the purple of the heather
Let us sing in happy chorus, come along It's the smell of sea and shore, it's the tang of bog and peat
It's the scent of brier and myrtle that puts magic in our feet
So home we go rejoicing over bracken over stile
And soon we will be footing out the last long mile

Come along, come along, let us foot it out together
Come along, come along, be it fair or stormy weather
With the hills of home before us and the purple of the heather
Let us sing in happy chorus, come along

Come along, come along, let us foot it out together
Come along, come along, be it fair or stormy weather
With the hills of home before us and the purple of the heather
Let us sing in happy chorus, come along
