lee murdock – scottish hero كلمات اغاني
i was a keeper of a light on whitefish bay
point iroquois; her name, it was back in nineteen_eight
the month of october in the autumn was quite dry
the forest was a tinderbox when lightning split the sky
soon fire was raging, consuming all in sight
a wall of flame came sweeping up the point toward our light
we sounded distress signals to a steamer passing by
scottish hero was her name; she slowed to stand by
the surf was rolling wildly and sparks flew in the air
the choice between the fire and icy waters faced us there
an oar_boat left the hero and tossed about the waves
just four strong sailors pulling hard, assuring us to save
they tried and tried to reach us, but flailed about the spray
the rocky coast and boiling seas betrayed us on that day
and faced with their failure, to the hero they returned
and left us there to meet our end: to drown or to be burned
[instrumental break]
how i’m here to tell you this story on this day
is amazing and i’m not really quite sure as i can say
but as the scottish hero went steaming out of sight
the fire course changed direction; still burning at great height
then it was not much later, about an hour or two
that we were picked up by the lighthouse tender from the sioux
and both of us were thankful, but still we wondered why
the scottish hero left us on that burning shore to die
[instrumental break]
the headline told the story in the detroit news tribune
the mate of the scottish hero died just early afternoon
while attempting to rescue, at point iroquois light
two keepers there in residence from burning wildfires bright
so here’s to the scottish hero, her master, and her crew
and to the ever_changing winds, malcolm mcgregor too
who lost his life while trying, in vein, to save our own
you’re the truest scottish hero, may your name be ever known
you’re the truest scottish hero, may your name be ever known
