Campbell, Bridgegate Music
For all the people of our little village of Gartocharn on the southern shore of Loch Lomond, Scotland. Wha’s like ye ! Ring of Aber at the mouth of the River Endrick, sits next to a nature reserve and wild life sanctuary, looking northwards to Ben Lomond and the Scottish Highlands. The words say it all!

Frozen snows on the wetlands lie, the Greenland Geese and the Greylags cry

From dusk till dawn ‘neath a starlit sky, and all is at peace in Aber

 

And give me your hand for I’ll not let it pass, take the time to raise a glass
You’re welcome here by the bright firelight, what’er your fortune may betide

 

Come sit you down both old and young, in the evening time when the day’s work’s done
Just take your ease for cares we’ve none, as the world outside keeps turning

 

And give me your hand for I’ll not let it pass, take the time to raise a glass

You’re welcome here by the bright firelight, what’er your fortune may betide
