MCRAES OF BALINTORE

I SAILED ACROSS THE OCEAN BLUE

AND FROM A FOREIGN SHORE

MY WONDERING EYE LED ME TILL I FOUND

THE ROAD TO BALINTORE

AND MY JOURNEY ENDED THERE

WHEN I MET THE MACRAES

BADE ME WELCOME, MADE ME STAY

FOR MANY HAPPY DAYS.

WITHIN A PARADISE ALL THEIR OWN

THEIR KINDNESS REIGNS SUPREME

NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT YOU ARE

YOU’RE ALWAYS WELCOME IN

I TRUST THE POWER THAT GUIDES THE WAVES

TO DASH UPON THE SHORE

WILL GUIDE MY FOOTSTEPS ONCE AGAIN

TO COME TO BALINTORE.

AND I DO MEAN IT – Jock Fraser
