Cold is the morn, up before sun
Trunk is packed, by dawn we'll be gone
From Glasgow to Greenock today

Then 62 days from Scotland to Quebec
Praying for safe passage, that we don't have a wreck
Even when we get there it'll be another trek

We're the Ghosts of 1816
We're the Ghosts of 1816

Just living was hard in those early days
First on the list lay a bridge across the Tay
Then start to build our town

Winters unforgiving, summer didn't always come
Relying on our instincts and help from the First Nations
Don't know just how we did it with so much to overcome

We're the Ghosts of 1816
We're the Ghosts of 1816

Over many a year, two centuries
What have we found here after cutting back the trees?
A people both fine and good

Culture rich and playful, we produced the Mammoth Cheese
Distilleries and breweries, farms and factories
Some of us are working in the arts community

We're all Ghosts of 1816
We're Ghosts of 1816

Traditions we share
Festivals and fairs
Draw us near
Keep us happily here

First moments of morn, what's that sound in my ear?
It's 2016 ringing in loud and clear
History has turned another page

Two hundred years behind us, plenty more to go
If time has taught us anything we're only going to grow
Remembering the stories of old times high and low

Thank you Ghosts of 1816
Thank you Ghosts of 1816
We're the Ghosts of 1816
We're Ghosts of 1816
