Lovely Rita is ready to enjoy a Highland Fling in her strapless red tartan plaid country dress. Rita spends much of her free time in the country by a lake or should we say loch. Is that Nessie the sea monster behind her? No, it’s just a duck.
Far have I traveled and much have I seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green.
Past painted deserts the sun sets on fire
As he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre
–Paul McCartney, Mull of Kintyre
recorded by Paul McCartney & WIngs in 1977
The Scottish Mull of Kintyre is a remote coastal region where former Beatle Paul McCartney lived in the early 1970s. The youtube is a music video of Mull of Kintyre by Paul McCartney and his band Wings. Linda McCartney and Denny Laine are also seen in this video along with the bagpipes of Kintyre’s local Campbeltown Pipe Band.
Paul McCartney: MULL OF KINTYRE
Mull of Kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre
Far have I traveled and much have I seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green.
Past painted deserts the sun sets on fire
As he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre.
Mull of Kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre
(Bagpipes)
Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days I knew then.
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the times of the Mull of Kintyre.
Mull of Kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre
(Bagpipes)
Smiles in the sunshine and tears in the rain
Still take me back where my memories remain
Flickering embers grow higher and higher
As they carry me back to the Mull of Kintyre
Mull of Kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre
Mull of Kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre
Mull of Kintyre, Mull of Kintyre
Mull of Kintyre, Mull of Kintyre
