Twas on the 16th of July in 1988
That Embo did declare itself an independent state
And the peopled came from miles around by the dozen and the score
To watch the rollers gently break on embo’s golden shores
Chorus
On Embo’s golden shore me boys
On Embo’s golden shore
We’ll watch the rollers gently break
On Embo’s golden shore
.
To enter this new fledgling state a visa was required
For Embo gained it’s freedom then without a shot been fired
Twas not Whithall’s stately rooms they played their power game’s
but in the cosy backroom bar in Granny’s Heiland Hame
.
I’ve travelled many’s a weary mile and seen strange foreign lands
I’ve seen the snowy mountains and I’ve wondered through the glens
But then I came by Dornoch town far famed in days of yore
And I watched the rollers gently break on Embo’s golden shore
