Grand golf tournament by professional players, 1867

**Sunshine on Leith**

**The Proclaimers**

My heart was broken, my heart was broken  
Sorrow sorrow sorrow sorrow  
My heart was broken, my heart was broken

You saw it, you claimed it  
You touched it, you saved it

My tears are drying, my tears are drying  
Thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou  
My tears are drying, my tears are drying

Your beauty and kindness  
Made tears clear my blindness  
While I’m worth my room on this earth  
I will be with you  
While the chief, puts sunshine on Leith  
I’ll thank him for his work  
And your birth and my birth.
