Come with me, oh darlin' one
You must see the purple sun
Come with me, oh, say you will
Meet me up on Shetland's Hill
Where I can see your silhouette
Framed in the purple sunset
In the heat the Junebugs trill
Way up on Shetland's hill
Don't tell a soul, my darlin' one,
And be alone when you're gone.
Then I know you'll love me still,
Where I can see your silhouette
Framed in the purple sunset
When the sun goes down it leaves a chill
While it's getting dark on Sheppard's
I'll wait for you, my darlin' woman
As silent as the smoking gun
I said, how would you set you in?
Where I could see your silhouette
Framed in the purple sunset
And the sirens wail high in the shrill
So far away from Shetland's Hill
So far away from Sh etland's Hill
So far away from Sh etland's Hill
Then I know you'll love me still
That's if you're on to Shetland's Hill
