Black Black Gold. (Words and music D. Gilfillan)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In days gone bye when you went to sea <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And you said goodbye on the Aberdeen Quay<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only harvest you could reap<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was the Silver darlings from the deep<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chorus<\/p>\n\n\n\n
through the wind and rain and snow and sleet<\/p>\n\n\n\n
comes the greatest harvest from the deep <\/p>\n\n\n\n
form the North sea so cruel and cold<\/p>\n\n\n\n
comes the treasure called the black black gold<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For ten long years at Cruden bay <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The oil keeps coming home each day<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From a place the call the forties field<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the man made islands made of steel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the divers in the murky gloom<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To those who working with the broom<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The riggers the flyers all one team<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All part of a well oiled machine<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Far from the mainland out of sight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like an out stretched arm with all its might<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a nation torn with trouble and strife<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like blood from the heart it\u2019s giving life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
