Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free
Just like a song, a song that lasts forever
Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free
Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green
Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free
Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free
Gordon was the eldest son, a golden eagle, so the story runs
To let the people see his power the island justice still prevails
See the king's men come riding through the heather
And according to the clansman's tales
(And the story of Albany, his family home)
Just like a song, a song that last forever
Just like a song, a song that last forever
The eagle turned as quick as light and slew the raven
Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under
His brother Charles, dark as the raven
So the king by his decree did raze and fire poor Albany
Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free
Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green
One night in jealous rage and spite, the raven struck with all his might
Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under
Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green
Just like a song, a song that lasts forever
An English king won't have a Highland man
Silent clansmen stand motionless together
Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under
McKenzie's life they cry and all his land
Just like a song, a song that last forever
A golden eagle nests forever in her tower
Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under
(This is Gordon McKenzie's story)
Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green
Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green
