Henry's Songbook

Air fa la la lo ho ro air fa la la lay
Air fa la la lo ho ro air fa la la lay
Air fa la la lo ho ro air fa la la lay
Fal dee fal o ho ro air fa la la lay

The song that I sing's a song of laughter and love
There's a tang o' the sea and blue from heaven above
Of reason there's none and why should there be forbye
With fire in my blood and toes and a light in the eye

The heather's ablaze wi' bloom and the myrtle is sweet
There's a song in the air, the road's a song at our feet
So step it along as light as a bird on the wing
And while we are stepping we'll join our voices and sing

And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no
And whether the skin be white or black as a sloe
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right be it wrong
If only our hearts be true to the lilt of the song
