Scotland Sings Glow Meet – Wednesday 24th October

Are you a school teacher? Scotland Sings in partnership with Education Scotland are hosting a Glow Meet on Wednesday 24th October. Singing in the Glow Meet will be Ewan Robertson (BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician 2009) and Megan Henderson both from the band Breabach.

We are going to teach the kids two songs, announce a competition and talk about Scotland Sings. Below are the songs  – words and music. The whole songs are present on the MP3 but we will only be teaching a verse and chorus on the day. If you can’t make the Glow Meet it will be archived for you to view after the event. Any questions please get in touch 🙂

Farewell tae the Haven (Davy Steele)

I’m leaving the fishin’, the life I have known.
The battle with nature, that nobody won.
For the fish stocks are dwindlin’, and the shoals hard tae find.
I’m leaving the fishin’, I’ve made up my mind.

Ma faither worked drifters, ma grandfaither tae.
Ma brother’s a skipper on the Elena Mae.
And I worked at the fishin’, just as soon as I could.
So leavin’s no easy, the sea’s in my blood.

Ch:
Farewell tae the Haven,
Ma heart it is sad.
The drifters I’m leavin’,
Tae work on the land.
