The far Cuillins are pullin' me away
As take I wi' my cromack to the road
The far Cuillins are puttin' love on me
As step I wi' the sunlight for my load
Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Lochaber I will go
By heather tracks wi' heaven in their wiles
If it's thinkin' in your inner heart the braggart's in my step
You've never smelled the tangle o' the Isles
Oh the far Cuillins are puttin' love on me
As step I wi' my cromack to the Isles
It's by Shiel water the track is to the west
By Aillort and by Morar to the sea
The cool cresses I am thinkin' of for pluck
And bracken for a wink on Mother´s knee
Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Lochaber I will go
By heather tracks wi' heaven in their wiles
If it's thinkin' in your inner heart the braggart's in my step
You've never smelled the tangle o' the Isles
Oh the far Cuillins are puttin' love on me
As step I wi' my cromack to the Isles
The blue islands are pullin' me away
Their laughter puts the leap upon the lame
The blue islands from the Skerries to the Lews
Wi' heather honey taste upon each name.
Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Lochaber I will go
By heather tracks wi' heaven in their wiles
If it's thinkin' in your inner heart the braggart's in my step
You've never smelled the tangle o' the Isles
Oh the far Cuillins are puttin' love on me
As step I wi' my cromack to the Isles
Cuillins: Mountains on the Isle of Skye Cromack: Shepherd’s crook
