Last night as I lay sleeping, a dream it came to me   I thought I heard a piper play the sweetest melody   People gathered round a-dancing and singing so merrily   They're all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free   Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free      From the busy heart of Glasgow to Lochranza by the sea   O're the water to Kintyre, the pretties pace you'll ever see   To the pubs and bars of Oban, they're all proud of their old country   They're all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free   Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free      On the road to Drumnadrochid, there's music everywhere   For the piper plays for Nessie a sweet and tender air   Through Glengarry's running rivers, cascading to the sea   To the tranquillity of Ullapool, ah now that's Scatland to me   Come wild and windy weather, Caledonia ever free      When the fiddle plays from Scotland, they hears the piper's song   They came o'erthe sea to join him, they danced and they sang along   From the granite city southward, on the road to bonny Dundee   They're all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free   Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free      Now if you ever come to Scotland, ever come to visit my home   You can hear the piper playing, standing all alone   For he plays from Edinburgh Castle, that looks out to the sea   He'll have you singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free   Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
