about

This song was written for Daisy before she passed away.
It was a celebration of her awesome life as she was starting to suffer from old age.

lyrics

Rescued from humble beginnings
You grew to stand out from the crowd
Spoilt from the day you were carried away
To help your new mama feel pride

Rest your weary bones dear
Daisy Rest your old bones, lie down
Rest your weary head, don’t worry
The world’ll keep spinning round

You’ve climbed more hills than most people
You’ve stuck right by mama’s side
Looking at you now, I still wonder how
You’ve got strength to bark at the tide

Rest your weary bones dear Daisy
Rest your old bones, lie down
Rest your weary head, don’t worry
The world’ll keep spinning round

Short legs they don’t slow you down,
Dais You’re as nimble as any young pup
The excitement we see in your prance on the beach
Never fails to cheer our souls up

Dais you’re her little old lady
And your age it pains her heart sore
But when you’re gone your memory so strong
Will stay with us forevermore

Rest your weary bones dear Daisy
Rest your old bones, lie down
Rest your weary head, don’t worry
The world’ll keep spinning...

Craving Scottish Gaelic kitchen caleigh sounds? I grew up with this in our kitchen and I have missed this. Innes and Jarlath have found my kitchen! Featuring all the jigs, the cycle of melodies, the original instruments, that Celtic glory that gets us rising to our feet even as I write this at 4am!! Fabulous! yermahm

My father was born in Glasgow, yet somehow I have never visited Scotland. This lovely music sounds like my ticket of return to the country of his birth. Philip Graham
