Are you a school teacher? Scotland Sings in partnership with Education Scotland are hosting a Glow Meet<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

We are going to teach the kids two songs, announce a competition and talk about Scotland Sings. Below are the songs \u00a0– 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.

Farewell tae the Haven (Davy Steele)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m leaving the fishin’, the life I have known.
\nThe battle with nature, that nobody won.
\nFor the fish stocks are dwindlin’, and the shoals hard tae find.
\nI’m leaving the fishin’, I’ve made up my mind.<\/p>\n

Ma faither worked drifters, ma grandfaither tae.
\nMa brother’s a skipper on the Elena Mae.
\nAnd I worked at the fishin’, just as soon as I could.
\nSo leavin’s no easy, the sea’s in my blood.<\/p>\n

Ch:
\nFarewell tae the Haven,
\nMa heart it is sad.
\nThe drifters I’m leavin’,
\nTae work on the land.<\/p>\n
