1
Michael McGrory from west Donegal
2
You came to Glasgow with nothing at all
3
You fought the landlord then the Afrika Korps
4
When you came to Glasgow with nothing at all
5
Abraham Caplan from Vilnius you came
6
You were heading for New York, but Leith's where you've stayed
7
You built a great business which benefits all
8
Since you came to this land with nothing at all
9
In Scotland's story I read that they came
10
The Gael and the Pict, the Angle and Dane
11
But so did the Irishman, Jew and Ukraine
12
They're all Scotland's story and they're all worth the same
13
Joseph D'Angelo dreams of the days
14
When Italian kids in the Grassmarket played
15
We burned out his shop when the boys went to war
16
But auld Joe's a big man and he forgave all
17
In Scotland's story I'm told that they came
18
The Gael and the Pict, the Angle and Dane
19
But where's all the Chinese and Indian names?
20
They're in my land's story and they're all worth the same
21
Christina McKay, I learned of your name
22
How you travelled south from Delny one day
23
You raised a whole family in one room they say
24
And the X on the line stands in place of your name
25
So in the old story I'll bet that I came
26
From Gael and Pict and Angle and Dane
27
And a poor migrant girl who could not write her name
28
It's a common old story, but it's mine just the same
29
All through the story the immigrants came
30
The Gael and the Pict, the Angle and Dane
31
From Pakistan, England and from the Ukraine
32
We're all Scotland's story and we're all worth the same
33
Your Scotland's story is worth just the same
