The Girl Who Stole the Boy from Scotland

from Invisible by Unkle Bob

/

lyrics

A London girl went travelling up north past the border wall,
she had no use for numbers when the lochs for her did call
she met a lad while learning who fed her and who kept her warm,
but it wasn’t long before she was gone, moved away all forlorn

Oh what’s a girl to do in lonely cities without you?

Oh let’s patch that hole with love and cotton twine,
don’t worry about mother’s outrage if you say that you’ll be mine
and there’s nothing on this planet that stands between you and me,
oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland

Many adventures have been and gone now, different places to rest our heads
and whilst the sock unravelled all the while you held the thread
that keeps us all connected, guides us on the road ahead
helps us see the path the we have forged that you did give your breath

Oh what’s a girl to do in lonely cities without you?

Oh let’s patch that hole with love and cotton twine,
don’t worry about mother’s outrage if you say that you’ll be mine
and there’s nothing on this planet that stands between you and me,
oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland

Oh what’s a girl to do in lonely cities without you?

Oh let’s patch that hole with love and cotton twine,
don’t worry about mother’s outrage if you say that you’ll be mine
and there’s nothing on this planet that stands between you and me,
oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
oh the girl who stole the boy from Scotland
