Lyrics:

I still see the blood on the knees
The camans swing without warning
The lads in white
At the speed of light
It's good to be young and daring

(Chorus)

Across the bay I still hear the strains
The two step loud and Blairing
We walked hand in hand
To the accordion band
It's good to be young and daring

(Chorus)

She was the pride of the summer that year
She was my sweetheart, my lady
We walked the black rock
And we stopped by the loch
It's good to be young and daring

(Chorus)
