Lyrics

Last week, alone
Right here, of our own
We lost seven or eight
Which is more than before
Leavin' our shore
Least two hundred to date
And that's only Lanark
Somethin's not right
Are we not a people,
Who stand up and fight?
Why can't here be the good life they seek?
Scotland is losin' three thousand a week
To Australia, Canada, places beyond
How can we keep goin' if everyone's gone?
There's no bloody work
For all that it's worth
Nobody knows what's ahead
If things don't turn around
We're Canada bound
That's what my Billy said
And what did you say?
I hope you said no
Of course I did
I hate the snow
Why can't here be the good life he seeks?
We cannot keep losin' three thousand a week
Or we'll wake up one mornin' and walk out at dawn
We'll look around
And everyone's gone
They'll be not comin' home
If everyone's gone
Scotland will be on her own
If everyone's gone
I blame Harold Wilson, closin' the mines
It goes back before then, before there was time
Through centuries of hardship, we've fought and survived
So what the hell was the point
If everyone's gone
They'll be not comin' home
If everyone's gone
They'll be not comin' home
If everyone's gone
It's where I was married
It's where I'll be buried
And I'm never changin' my mind
It may try to break me
But nothin' could make me
Leave this all behind
Times are a changin' so swim or you'll sink
All of our futures hang on the brink
Times are a changin' so swim or you'll sink
All of our futures hang on the brink
Times are a changin' so swim or you'll sink
All of our futures hang!
If everyone's gone
They'll be not comin' home
If everyone's gone
They'll be not comin' home
If everyone's gone
They'll be not comin' home
If everyone's gone
