Текст с Bandcamp’a:
“In memory of Kolleen Newman
Memories they say sometimes scatter and fray
And time and tide wait for no man
So may her legend live on in the words of this song
And in the hearts of this noisy drunken band
She’d strike up the drone with a quickness unknown
And play a reel with fingers fast and true
With a “quick march!” to start and a joy in her heart
Kolleen would lead us down the avenue
Let’s all raise a glass to the fiery lass we knew as Wild Kolleen
The pipers played as they carried her away
So let’s all raise a glass to the fiery lass we knew as Wild Kolleen
If we make it to heaven we’ll meet again someday
With a kilt and a smile on her Harley with style
A heart that burned bright like the sun
Neither rain, sleet or snow could stop this woman we know
Who gave so much to each and every one
Now tears fill our eyes as we say our goodbyes
To life that shined to everyone she knew
Our voices we’ll raise as we sing of her praise
Kolleen, my dear we will remember you
CHORUS
