Can I be wise and in love, no not at the same time, and she goes,
she slips out the hands , like a fist full of sand after
all I'm only a young head on young shoulders

I rule the Spanish sands another day, another day,
It won't be very long before I go
I rule the Spanish sands another day, another day,
It won't be very long before I go

a ripple on my hand, for every stitch comes a score,
on the young heads and heavy hearts, they show love is deft
forsaken Spanish sands they set my villain free,
there's a hole in my fire,
but now I see, now you see,

I rule the Spanish sands another day, another day,
It won't be very long before I go
I rule the Spanish sands another day, another day,
It won't be very long before I go
I go
I go

I rule the Spanish sands another day, another day,
It won't be very long before I go oh
I choose the Scottish lands, I'm on my way, I'm on my way
It won't be very long before I'm home
