Spirit Of The West Doin' Quite Alright Lyrics

Well I'm not going anywhere to this land I am bound
I traveled in an aircraft once I much prefer the ground
Looked on the rocky mountains they're an awesome sight to see
I'd rather climb the Merrick or go fishing in the Cree

[vocal melody]
My name it is Jim Boyle and I live here all alone
In this council house me parents had but now it is me own
I have six brothers and sisters and they've all moved far away
But I'll be here in Galloway until my dying day

Scotland I love you my home, I'm doing no more traveling
Scotland I love you my home, It's here that I belong
Scotland I love you my home, I'm doing no more traveling
Scotland I love you my home, It's here that I belong

I am a man who believes in living off the earth
I grow all my own vegetables and I'm careful for my health
I cut me hair and mend me clothes I'm doing quite alright
And with 20/20 vision I can see no wife in sight

Scotland I love you my home, I'm doing no more traveling
Scotland I love you my home, It's here that I belong
Scotland I love you my home, I'm doing no more traveling Scotland I love you my home, It's here that I belong

I will not have the television it's of no interest to me
I read only factual books in the mobile library
I'll venture near no public house I'll ne'er be through those doors
The skies are clear you may find me on the Danner down the shore

Scotland I love you my home, I'm doing no more traveling
Scotland I love you my home, It's here that I belong
Scotland I love you my home, I'm doing no more traveling
Scotland I love you my home, It's here that I belong

Ah, this town is filled with strange faces and for them I have no trust
Some are wealthy English land owners much to my disgust
To see this land leave Scottish hands it fills me with despair
For now this land will be handed down unto a wrongful heir

Scotland I love you my home, I'm doing no more traveling
Scotland I love you my home, It's here that I belong
Scotland I love you my home, I'm doing no more traveling
Scotland I love you my home, It's here that I belong
