Version 1 of the lyrics

  The poacher and his daughter  The poacher and his daughter
1  Throw soft shadows on the water in the night   throw soft shadows on the water in the night. 1
  A thin moon slips behind them  A thin moon slips behind them
2  As they pull the net with no betraying light   as they pull the net with no betraying light. 2
1   1
  And later on the coast road, I meet them  And later on the coast road, I meet them
3  And the old man winks a smile   and the old man winks a smile. 3
  And who am I to fast deny the right  And who am I to fast deny the right
4  To take a fish once in a while?   to take a fish once in a while? 4

  I walk with them, they wish me luck  I walk with them, they wish me luck
5  When I ship out on the Sunday from the Kyle   when I ship out on the Sunday from the kyle. 5
  And from the church I hear them singing  And from the church I hear them singing
6  As the ship moves sadly from the pier   as the ship moves sadly from the pier. 6
7  Oh, poachers daughter, Sunday best   Oh, poacher's daughter, Sunday best, 7
8  Two hundred brave souls share the farewell tear   two hundred brave souls share the farewell tear. 8
      
9  Well, there's a house on the hillside          There's          a house on the hillside, where 9
10  Where the drifting sands are born          the drifting sands are born. 10
  Lay down and let the slow tide wash me  Lay down and let the slow tide wash me
11  Back to the lands where I came from   back to the land where I came from. 11
  Where the mountain men are kings  Where the mountain men are kings
12  And the sound of the piper counts for everything   and the sound of the piper counts for everything. 12
      
13  I did my tour, did my duty                                      Did      my tour, did my duty. I did all they asked of me. 13
14  I did all they asked of me   Died in the trenches and at Alamein 14
15  Died in the trenches and at El Alamein   ...died in the Falklands on T.V.              15
3  Died in the Falklands on TV   3
  Going back to the mountain kings  Going back to the mountain kings
16  Where the sound of the piper counts for everything   where the sound of the piper counts for everything. 16
      
  Long generations from the Isles  Long generations from the Isles
17  Sent to tread the foreign miles   sent to tread the foreign miles 17
18  Where the spiral ages meet   where the spiral ages meet. 18
19  Felt naked dust beneath their feet   Felt naked dust beneath their feet. 19

  Future sun called winds to blow  Future sun called winds to blow
20  And the past and present hard-eyed crow   and the past and present hard-eyed crow 20
21  Flew hunting high and circling low         flew hunting high and circling low over 21
22  Over blackened plains of Eden         blackened plains of Eden. 22
      
  There's a child and a woman praying  There's a child and a woman praying
23  For an end to the mystery   for an end to the mystery. 23
  Hoping for a word in a letter  Hoping for a word in a letter
24  Fair wind-blown from across the sea   fair wind-blown from across the sea 24
25  To where the mountain men are kings   to where the mountain men are kings 25
26  And the sound of the piper counts for everything   and the sound of the piper counts for eveything. 26
      
27  There's a house on the hillside          There's a house on the hillside, where 27
