Drummore Poem by jim hogg

Deep in my heart lie mem'ries so sweet
Sunrise o'er Cail'ness, sea at my feet
Wind in the barley drove golden waves
Carry me free to Drummore once again

High on the Creechan, down in the glen
So many moments I can't forget
Round by the Foghorn where Fulmars glide
Fishermen dangle their dreams in the tide


Only a dream now, Mary has flown
Reckless we plough, and reap what we've sown
Time runs so swiftly, soon we grow old
Carry me home to Drummore by the shore

Lonely the highway, lonely the night
'til the last corner, into the light
Down at East Tarbet, high on the cliffs
Carry me back to the thrill of her kiss


chorus)
Carry me back there; it's where I belong
Home in Kirkmaiden adrift on her song
Watching the breakers wash up her wild shore
As we walk round the point of Curghie to Drummore
(As we gaze o'er the bay from Curghie to drummore)
(As we think on the loved ones we'll ne'er hold no more)
