"My home town Gourock" (Song)

"My home town Gourock"

 I would get up in the morning could feel the morning chill

The smell of breakfast cooking just gave me a thrill

My mum was such a darling she took good care of me

She loved being in her kitchen as she looked out at the sea

Chorus

I sing about my country it’s where I did abide

I come from Bonnie Scotland down there by the Clyde

The river ran right by my house the beach and the rocks

I’m proud to say that I was raised in my home town called Gourock

After my breakfast I would go down on the dike

I would go for a cycle so I would grab my bike

I would head towards the promenade the sandpit and the pools

I loved the summer holidays didn’t have to go to school

Chorus

I sing about my country it’s where I did abide

I come from Bonnie Scotland down there by the Clyde

The river ran right by my house the beach and the rocks

I’m proud to say that I was raised in my home town called Gourock

 

What a joy to grow up by the ocean and the sea

I remember Guy Fawkes well I remember Halloween

I had the best of friends and I loved them all and miss

Since moving from my home town I can only reminisce

Chorus

I sing about my country it’s where I did abide

I come from Bonnie Scotland down there by the Clyde

The river ran right by my house the beach and the rocks

I’m proud to say that I was raised in my home town called Gourock

 

The memories of my home town are always on my mind

The people that I worked with were forever kind

However, I live in Canada two thousand miles apart

I want to let my friends know they are always on my heart

Chorus

I sing about my country it’s where I did abide

I come from Bonnie Scotland down there by the Clyde

The river ran right by my house the beach and the rocks

I’m proud to say that I was raised in my home town called Gourock

I’m proud to say that I was raised in my home town called Gourock
