Текст пісні
If fate decreed that I could walk but just one mile each day
And I with age and sorrows weighed were given my choice of way
I'd choose from every mile I've crossed on land or sea or air
A mile that makes a Scotsman proud of Edinburgh fair
O let me walk the Royal Mile, that Scotland's brave highway
Where at one o'clock from the Castle
Rock comes Auld Reekie's call each day
And as the echo sounds in the palace
Grounds, then the hams of Scotland smile
And you've made your day in a royal way on the Royal Mile
For when I walk this famous mile the air about me rings
With footsteps made in years gone by, by princes, queens, and kings
For here is Scotland's history, here freedom lost and won
And here my heart is ever homing till my life is done
O let me walk the Royal Mile, that Scotland's brave highway
Where at one o'clock from the Castle
Rock comes Auld Reekie's call each day
And as the echo sounds in the palace
Grounds, then the hams of Scotland smile
And you've made your day in a royal way on the Royal Mile
Yes, you've made your day in a royal way on the Royal Mile
