The Angus adoption song

Angus days so long in summer
All the time to love a mother
Land of gold and red and green
Quiet beauty, quite unseen

Angus people at their labour
Fisher, teacher, soldier, painter
Absent oilmen, farmers, wives
Doctors, nurses, busy lives

Chorus
Angus beaches show the secret
Now it's up to us to keep it
Waves wash ever on these shores
Adopt me Angus, make me yours

Angus winds blow keen and fairly
Often folks can stand up barely
Breathe it, keep it, feel it moving
Fierce gales can still be soothing

Angus hills and quiet roads
Burns that know to go with flows
Ramblers sigh and stop to pause
Nature still has room for laws

Chorus

Angus cuppies filled with tea
Keep us cappuchino free
Voices clear sing ballads strong
Work the lungs for every song

Angus busy in a calm way
Living in a day today way
Little missing, few real woes
Time is well spent as it goes

Chorus
