lyrics

Verse 1
St. Lasrach's Eve that gale did howl
the blizzard moon foresaw
travellers lost they bravely march
the hand of nothing gives

Chorus
Help for the sick
hope for the poor
bless good deeds done
trials of life begun

Verse 2
St. Lasrach's Eve that chilly night
pitch black bar candle flame
the homeless search for shelter
outcasts a crying shame

Verse 3
St. Lasrach’s Eve pass o’er the lake
stars like ancestors stare
trek complete
destination reached
bleak winter's night escape

Chorus 2
Ages passed
St. Catherine's well
so it came to pass
Bertrand de Shotts
he laughed his last
highwayman’s farewell

The earl’s hunt
a hawk's flight
a grateful king’s reward
a Regent falls
by Bothwellhaugh
so the ruins trace

Verse 4
St. Lasrach's chapel
Lauchopes pray
for those who rest in peace
each one has passed
no longer there
alas eternity

Chorus
Care for the sick
hope for the poor
ask all to give
see the humble truth

Verse 5
St. Lasrach's Eve
the people cheer
celebrate nae care
the joy of life lights up our kin
hearts as free as the air

Chorus 3
Tarry ye not no time to waste
haste to the village hall
dance all night to the jigs and reels
St. Lasrach’s Eve till the morn
