The Heart of Midlothian
If you're strolling around Auld Reekie
And you're wandering up by the Mound,
If you just take a trip doon the High Street
You'll come to a heart in the ground
It's the centre of this dear old city
It's a sort of a wishing well too
But you don't have to drink
You don't have to think
I'll tell what you've got to do -
CHORUS: At the Heart of Midlothian outside St Giles
(twice) It's the one lucky spot
That Edinburgh's got
That will change all your cares into smiles
Things look ugly today,
Make a wish Pht! they'll be gay
Just like Hans Christian Andersen's duck
The Heart of Midlothian will bring you luck.
Now you've heard of the luck of the Irish
And the power of the old Blarney Stone
White Heather brings luck in the Highlands
But I've got a spot of my own
It's not at the famed Monte Carlo
And it's not at the Fountains of Rome
No it's up the Royal Mile
I'll do it in style
In the city that I call my home.
CHORUS: At the Heart of Midlothian outside St Giles
(twice) So if you're passing by
Just go Pht! have a try
It will change all your cares into smiles
If you play at the game
Just remember the name
It's the same as the team with the Cup
The Heart of Midlothian will cheer you up
(in coda) The Heart of Midlothian will bring you luck.
