The Proclaimers - The Joyful Kilmarnock Blues lyrics

rate me

I'm not going to talk about doubts and confusion

On a night when I can see with my eyes shut

I'd never been to Ayrshire

I hitched down one saturday

Sixty miles to Kilmarnock

To see Hibernian play

The day was bright and sunny

But the game I won't relay

And there was no Kilmarnock bunnet

To make me want to stay

But I'm not going to talk about it

On a night when I can see with my eyes shut

When I started walking at Wishaw

My eyes obscured my vision

After five miles on my way

I began to learn to listen

I walked through the country

I walked through the town

I held my head up

And I didn't look down

The question doesn't matter

The answer's always "aye"

The best view of all

Is where the land meets the sky.
