[00:00:00] East of Aberdeen - Craig Herbertson

[00:00:00] Written by：Craig Herbertson

[00:00:07] Cold is she

[00:00:10] The cold North Sea

[00:00:14] She'll howl and she'll heave

[00:00:18] And will not be subdued

[00:00:23] So raise up your glass

[00:00:26] To those who have seen her

[00:00:31] From no friendly shore

[00:00:36] But east east of Aberdeen

[00:00:50] Four hundred miles

[00:00:52] I travelled to labour

[00:00:55] To the Grey Granite City

[00:00:57] In the far far north

[00:00:59] I found myself alone

[00:01:01] In bars with no women

[00:01:03] Just men who have been

[00:01:06] East east of Aberdeen

[00:01:12] At the heliport we stewed

[00:01:15] Held by stormy weather

[00:01:17] We sweated in our suits

[00:01:19] Too tired to do much mocking

[00:01:21] We smoked and we laughed

[00:01:24] But the wind was out there talking

[00:01:26] As we waited for our flight

[00:01:28] To east east of Aberdeen

[00:01:35] The first few days

[00:01:37] Will never be forgot

[00:01:39] Ye work and ye work

[00:01:41] And ye never seemed to stop

[00:01:44] It'd be a Hell on earth

[00:01:46] But the real Hell is the water

[00:01:48] That thunders through your dreams

[00:01:50] When you're east east of Aberdeen

[00:01:57] As like a wee toy

[00:01:59] The standby boat is bobbing

[00:02:02] Their three month trip

[00:02:04] Must send their brains to God

[00:02:06] They only get them back

[00:02:08] When they've drunk themselves sober

[00:02:11] And then they'll be broke

[00:02:13] And east east of Aberdeen

[00:02:20] The flares o the Innes

[00:02:22] Burn like wee candles

[00:02:24] In the huge night sky

[00:02:26] There is nothing else to see

[00:02:29] And if ever you felt

[00:02:31] Humbled and Holy

[00:02:33] It's alone with these lights

[00:02:36] East east of Aberdeen

[00:02:42] Our flare burns like gold

[00:02:45] Gold and restless amber

[00:02:47] It lights up the sky

[00:02:49] The rigging and the gantry

[00:02:51] Then O'er endless skies

[00:02:53] The Northern Lights come dancing

[00:02:56] There's angels in your dreams

[00:02:58] East east of Aberdeen

[00:03:05] Three weeks you're on

[00:03:07] Your relief he bumps you

[00:03:09] All dressed in your suit

[00:03:11] As the cheaper fly away

[00:03:13] And it's back down below

[00:03:16] To fourteen hours of grafting

[00:03:18] And you curse and you swear

[00:03:20] East east of Aberdeen

[00:03:27] And you lie on your bunk

[00:03:29] And dream of your woman

[00:03:32] Is she lying alone

[00:03:34] Or sharing her sorrow

[00:03:36] And the wind it sighs

[00:03:38] It's the voice of a lover

[00:03:40] But a lover who lies

[00:03:43] East east of Aberdeen

[00:03:49] And cold is she

[00:03:52] The cold North Sea

[00:03:54] She'll howl and she'll heave

[00:03:56] And will not be subdued

[00:03:58] So raise up your glass

[00:04:01] To those who have seen her

[00:04:03] From no friendly shore

[00:04:05] But east east of Aberdeen
