Pm'd you with the words but thought others may want to see them as well!

OVER THE ORD

(Chorus) NOW COME ALL YE PEOPLE, COME OVER THE ORD
THERE'S A WELCOME AWAITING THAT YOU CAN AFFORD
BE YE A PAUPER OR BE YE A LORD
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WELCOME IN CAITHNESS

THERE ARE LOCHIES AND BURNIES, BROCHANS AND BRAES
QUAINT LITTLE HAMLETS AND HAVENS AND BAYS
ALL PLACES YOU'LL CHERISH THE REST OF YOUR DAYS
WITH A WARM HEARTED WELCOME IN CAITHNESS

FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF MORVEN THERE CAN BE SEEN
MOORLANDS AND MEADOWS AND RIVERS AND STREAMS
OF ALL THE FINE PLACES THAT I'VE EVER BEEN
THERE IS NO FINER COUNTY THAN CAITHNESS

FOR THE LAND THERE BELOW, THE PLACE OF MY BIRTH
IS CARRESSED BY THE WAVES OF THE WILD PENTLAND FIRTH
OF ALL THE FINE PLACES THAT I'VE EVER SEEN
THERE IN NO FINER COUNTY THAN CAITHNESS
