Text:
As I walked by Loch Lomond side
On a fine spring morning
The sun fought with the icy rain
That came on without warning
And all the wee birds sang again
As the mountains shed their winter snow
A finer sight I'd never seen
That day upon the road

By Glen Douglas then I travelled west
Across the hills to reach Loch Long
It put my mettle to the test
And in my heart a joyful song
From Scotland and her beauty wild
So many years I'd been away
I felt the wonder of a child
That day upon the road

But before my eyes the scene it changed
Man-made structures flanked the hills
Caverns grim of concrete gray
In rows so menacing and still
I wondered what these things could be
No reason for them, could I find
A change of mood came over me
That day upon the road
