Letra de Scotland's Story
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 allAbraham 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 allIn 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 sameJoseph 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 allIn 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 sameChristina 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 nameSo 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 sameAll 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 sameYour Scotland's story is worth just the same
