Song language: English
Albany |
| Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green |
| Albany, whose mighty walls the people sheltered under |
| Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free |
| (This is Gordon McKenzie’s story) |
| Just like a song, a song that lasts forever |
| (And the story of Albany, his family home) |
| Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green |
| Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under |
| Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free |
| Just like a song, a song that lasts forever |
| Gordon was the eldest son, a golden eagle, so the story runs |
| His brother Charles, dark as the raven |
| One night in jealous rage and spite, the raven struck with all his might |
| The eagle turned as quick as light and slew the raven |
| Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green |
| Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under |
| Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free |
| Just like a song, a song that last forever |
| See the king’s men come riding through the heather |
| McKenzie’s life they cry and all his land |
| Silent clansmen stand motionless together |
| An English king won’t have a Highland man |
| So the king by his decree did raze and fire poor Albany |
| To let the people see his power the island justice still prevails |
| And according to the clansman’s tales |
| A golden eagle nests forever in her tower |
| Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green |
| Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under |
| Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free |
| Just like a song, a song that last forever |
| Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green |
| Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under |
| Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free |
| Just like a song, a song that last forever |
| Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green |
| Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter |
