The Best Of Thee
©2007 Tom Eure/BMI

Many brave families
sailed for Amerikay
to escape English suppression
and civl war’s bloody fray

When they reached the bay of Chesapeake
that new worlds where they'd stay
but with Scottish blood and Scottish pride
their Scotsmen all the way

Singing
Aye high Highland
let pipes and drums sing
The heart is Highland
and that’s the best of thee
Aye high Highland
homeland cross the sea
The heart is Highland
and that’s the best of thee

We’ve heard the call of sacred hills
and traced our family trees
so when they summon up the clans
we gather brotherly

We love the land that’s home today
but also boldly say
With Scottish blood and Scottish pride
we’re Scotsmen all the way

Singing
Aye high Highland
let pipes and drums sing
The heart is Highland
and that’s the best of thee
Aye high Highland
homeland cross the sea
The heart is Highland
and that’s the best of thee
The heart is Highland
and that’s the best of thee
