Fife  was a shadow across the Forth as the Granton boat pulled out
 Over the sea and the solid earth the mist  lay all about
 And a rising  wind from the Isle  of May o'er the ruffled  waters strode
 And blew  us a clear October day to ride  on the Highland Road
 There's a winding  road from Glenfarg to the mouth of the river Tay
 The mountains beckon beyond Dunkeld to lead  us on our way
 Now Killicrankie's famous  Pass, a battle  lost and won
From  the old enchanted Atholl lands, grim heart  of Caledon
 The Highland  Road's been sung before and will  be sung again
 As long  as singers give thanks  for good in the way of honest men
 Let him  who will be contrary, the wise  man will agree
 And sing  again the Highland Road, the Highland Road for me
 Now the Highland  Road is a rugged road, from the Tay to the Northern shore
 A man may rise in Edinburgh town and rest  in Aviemore
 Now here's  to the railroad running  north and the day  that gave it due
 From the greying  spires of the ancient town to the moon  of the Lairig Gru
 The Highland  Road's been sung before and will  be sung again
 As long  as singers give thanks  for good in the way of honest men
 Let him  who will be contrary, the wise  man will agree
 And sing  again the Highland Road, the Highland Road for me
