Scotland's Story Lyrics - Singles - Proclaimers

Michael McGrory from west Donegal 

You came to Glasgow with nothing at all 

You fought the landlord then the Africa Korps 

When you came to Glasgow with nothing at all 

Abraham Caplan from Vilnius you came 

You were heading for New York but Leith's where you've stayed 

You built a great business that benefits all 

Since you came to this land with nothing at all 

In Scotland's story I read that they came 

The Gael and the Pict, the Angle and Dane 

But so did the Irishman, Jew and Ukraine 

They're all Scotland's Story and they're all worth the same

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Joseph D'Angelo dreams of the days 

When Italian kids in the Grass market played 

Burned out his shop when the boys went to war 

But Auld Joe's a big man and he forgave all 

In Scotland's story I'm told that they came 

The Gael and the Pict, the Angle and Dane 

But where's all the Chinese and Indian names? 

They're in my lands story and they're all worth the same 

Christina McKay, I learned of your name 

How you traveled south from Delny one day 

You raised a whole family in one room they say 

And the X on the line stands in place of your name 

So in the old story I'll bet that I came 

From Gael and Pict and Angle and Dane 

And a poor migrant girl who could not write her name 

It's a common old story but it's mine just the same 

Photos 

All through the story the immigrants came 

The Gael and the Pict, the Angle and Dane 

From Pakistan, England and from the Ukraine 

We're all Scotland's story and we're all worth the same 

Your Scotland's story is worth just the same
