Our Gala Day
Come sing a song of welcome
This day has come at last
A day when we look forward
But think about our past.
A day when Crown and Sceptre
Are proudly borne before
And our queen is throned in splendour
As she was in days of yore.
CHORUS
Let us sing, let's be happy
Let us wave and let us cheer (Hurrah)
Everyone keep smiling
For our Gala Day is here
All the children of Linlithgow
And Linlithgow Bridge do say
We are glad that we're together
On this our Gala Day.
There's the Bower Girls and the Fairies
With their lovely Fairy Queen
There’s the Provost and the Herald
And the Champion so keen
The Maids of Honour also
Their loyal homage show
The Scottish soldier's on parade
So forward let us go.
CHORUS
Next the Flower Girls with their baskets
Led by their Flower Queen
The Maids of Honour curtsey
Adding glamour to the scene
The ladies all - in - waiting
Await their Queen's command,
With her guards and flags around her
She waves her royal hand.
CHORUS
Sung to the tune of “Let him go, let him tarry”.
Words by Bruce Jamieson
Specially written and composed for Linlithgow and Linlithgow Bridge
