Strong Women Rule Us All Lyrics by Dick Gaughan

Outlaws and Dreamers

0

There's a moment of your story
That has always haunted me
When you set out in yon open boat
To help the poor man flee
Was Charlie Stuart's future
Already plain to see
Did you know he'd be a waster all his days
But if you did, I'd give the world to find
A single tear you cried
From the Cuillins tae the Carolinas
You showed us one and all
The courage you could call
From the tears that would not fall
From your eyes
And after thirty years
After all that you'd been through
Was the thought of "bonnie Chairlie"
Just a memory to rue
As you watched your husband putting on
His coat of scarlet hue
To go and fight for German Geordie's crown
But you never tried to hide behind
The dreams of days gone by
From the Cuillins tae the Carolinas
You showed us one and all
The courage you could call
From the tears that would not fall
From your eyes
And there's times I think I see you
When I find that kind of face
When a woman's independence
Has kept a woman's grace
Where confidence and pride
Refuse to know their place
Or hide behind the easy tricks of beauty
For to me your life's a light that shines
Across the stormy skies
From the Cuillins tae the Carolinas
You showed us one and all
The courage you could call
From the tears that would not fall
From your eyes
Aye, from the Cuillins tae the Carolinas
Strong women rule us all
With the courage that they call
When the tears refuse to fall
From their eyes
