The Girl Who Stole the Boy from Scotland
A London girl went travelling up north past the border wall
She had no use for numbers when the lochs for her did call
She met a lad while learning who fed her and who kept her warm
But it wasn't long before she was gone, moved away all forlorn
Oh what's a girl to do in lonely cities without you?
Oh let's patch that hole with love and cotton twine
Don't worry about mother's outrage if you say that you'll be mine
And there's nothing on this planet that stands between you and me
Oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
Oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
Many adventures have been and gone now,
Different places to rest our heads
And whilst the sock unravelled all the while you held the thread
That keeps us all connected, guides us on the road ahead
Helps us see the path the we have forged that you did give your breath
Oh what's a girl to do in lonely cities without you?
Oh let's patch that hole with love and cotton twine
Don't worry about mother's outrage if you say that you'll be mine
And there's nothing on this planet that stands between you and me
Oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
Oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
Oh what's a girl to do in lonely cities without you?
Oh let's patch that hole with love and cotton twine
Don't worry about mother's outrage if you say that you'll be mine
And there's nothing on this planet that stands between you and me
Oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
The girl who stole the boy from Scotland
Oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
She had no use for numbers when the lochs for her did call
She met a lad while learning who fed her and who kept her warm
But it wasn't long before she was gone, moved away all forlorn
Oh what's a girl to do in lonely cities without you?
Oh let's patch that hole with love and cotton twine
Don't worry about mother's outrage if you say that you'll be mine
And there's nothing on this planet that stands between you and me
Oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
Oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
Many adventures have been and gone now,
Different places to rest our heads
And whilst the sock unravelled all the while you held the thread
That keeps us all connected, guides us on the road ahead
Helps us see the path the we have forged that you did give your breath
Oh what's a girl to do in lonely cities without you?
Oh let's patch that hole with love and cotton twine
Don't worry about mother's outrage if you say that you'll be mine
And there's nothing on this planet that stands between you and me
Oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
Oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
Oh what's a girl to do in lonely cities without you?
Oh let's patch that hole with love and cotton twine
Don't worry about mother's outrage if you say that you'll be mine
And there's nothing on this planet that stands between you and me
Oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
The girl who stole the boy from Scotland
Oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
