Albany

Original songwriter: Roger Whittaker, Nick Munro

This is Gordon

MacKenzie's story

And the story of Albany his family home

Albany that once stood high over Norton Green

Albany whose mighty walls the people sheltered under

Albany proud symbol setting the Highlands free

Just like a song a song that lasts forever

Gordon was the eldest son a golden eagle so the story runs

His brother Charles dark as a raven

One night in jealous rage and spite

The raven struck with all his might

The eagle turned as quick as light and slew the raven

Albany that once stood high over Norton Green

Albany whose mighty walls the people sheltered under

Albany proud symbol setting the Highlands free

Just like a song a song that lasts forever

See the king's men come riding through the heather

MacKenzie's life they cried

And all his land

Silent clansmen stand motionless together

An English king won't hang a Highland man

So the king by his decree did raze and fire poor Albany

To let the people see his power

But Highland justice still prevails

And according to the clansmen's tales

A golden eagle nests forever in her tower

Albany that once stood high over Norton Green

Albany whose mighty walls the people sheltered under

Albany proud symbol setting the Highlands free

Just like a song a song that lasts forever

Ooh Albany that once stood high over Norton Green

Ooh Albany the people sheltered under the walls of Albany

Just like a song that lasts forever

Ooh Albany that once stood high

Over Norton Green ooh Albany the

People sheltered under the walls of Albany

Just like a song that lasts forever
