Lyrics
They built the bridges and the tunnels climbed the hills that bear their names Always first to charge in battle and the first to charge again You can recognize their accent and they'll tell you that you're wrong But there is no mistaking where they're from You'll find them in the jungle or sailing on the sea And if you go to China boys it's there they'll surely be Wherever you might see them they will look like they belong But there is no mistaking where they're from They're from the streets of Aberdeen and the small border towns From the Hebridean Islands and all the country 'round They travelled to a new land and they sing a different song But there is no mistaking where they're from There's a nurse at the mission with a doctor standing by And the old man in the corner wi' a sad and whisky eye And the tea planter's family they've been living there so long But there is no mistaking where they're from They're from the streets of Aberdeen and the small border towns From the Hebridean Islands and all the country 'round They travelled to a new land and they sing a different song But there is no mistaking where they're from They're the ones who write the stories and they never hesitate To face up to the challenges and punch above their weight They live in every country and they look like they belong But there is no mistaking where they're from
