Albany (English Version)

Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green

Albany, whose mighty walls the people sheltered under

Albany, proud symbol setting the highlands free

This is Gordon McKenzie's story

And the story of Albany, his family home

Just like a song a song that last forever

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 last forever

Gordon was the eldest son

A golden eagle, so the story runs

His brother Charles, dark as raven

One night in jealous rage and spite

The raven struck with all his might

The eagle turns 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 last forever

See the king's men come, riding through the heather

McKenzie's life they cry and all his land

Silent clansmen stand motionless together

An English king won't have 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 nest 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 last forever

Oh-ho-oh-ho-oh, Albany that once stood high over Norton Green

Oh, Albany, her people sheltered under her walls

Albany, whose mighty walls the people sheltered under

Albany, proud symbol setting the highlands free

Oh, like Albany

Just like a song, just like a song, that lasts forever

Oh-ho-oh-ho-oh, Albany that once stood high over Norton Green

Albany, whose mighty walls the people sheltered under

Oh, Albany
