You’re old and historic, evolved and mature Like cask strength whisky, so strong and so pure, You capture our heart, hold on with some style Our highland religion drip-fed as a child. An education of sorts, a mark of respect To play this old sport, help villages connect. For those who’ve not seen, it is hard to explain, Just how much pride we have in our game. It’s the game of the Gaels, The language of our clans No place for fear, or to commandeer The heart of the caman man. From the dawn of time, through mist covered glens Clans once gathered, there were hundreds of men, Now we call time, they’d last many days, Wearing full highland dress, with their tartan plaids For ninety short minutes, we contest and collide And once it’s all over, cast difference aside. An offer of hand, to greet one another. A nod of respect for your wood swinging brother It’s the game of the Gaels, The language of our clans No place for fear, or to commandeer The heart of the caman man. Once my best friend, my release from lives throws But now it feels right that I should let go, I’ve had my time, which is hard to admit, Life ever changing, no time to commit, Oh I’ll miss to stand as twelve healthy men, To toss a coin on which end to defend, Hear the whistle ring-out, as the balls thrown high, Fifty bright eyes cast towards the sky. Take a knock, take a bang, take a smack, take a clatter, In years to come none of it will matter, To run like the wind and to leap like the salmon, A small price to pay to say you’ve held a caman. It’s the game of the Gaels, The language of our clans No place for fear, or to commandeer The heart of the caman man. You’ll continue to grow, gather tales on your way I’ll never forget what were my glory days We stood together as one hand in hand The pipe-band tuned up at the back of the stand. Those fond memories I’ll hang onto and treasure As I dust off a glass to pour a large measure. To our ancient sport, to Scotland’s fine son I toast your health, my heart you’ve won. It’s the game of the Gaels, The language of our clans No place for fear, or to commandeer The heart oh it’s the....

What a song
What a game
What a country
What a competition
What an atmosphere
What a player
What a musician
Brilliant Gary.
I love this - pure Highlands.
That's Robert Robertson voice for sure!
Billy Saunders yes it's Robbie singing but Gary just wrote this song
Another fab song that gives us the shivers!!
Such a brilliant song. Truly good on so many levels. Listened to the guy on radio today. A good spirit. Not a bad presenter either
The first lines are so powerful.

An education of sorts, a mark of respect

It’s the game of the Gaels,
The language of our clans
No place for fear, or to commandeer
The heart of the caman man.

Clans once gathered, there were hundreds of men,
Now we call time, they’d last many days,
Wearing full highland dress, with their tartan plaids

And once it’s all over, cast difference aside.
An offer of hand, to greet one another.
