A Song A Day 280: 'Leaving Nancy', written by Eric Bogle, leaving Scotland and his mother, Nancy.

It was 1969, Eric Bogle was just 25 but he was emigrating, leaving Scotland for Australia - the other side of the world.
His mother, Nancy, saw him off, but promised she wouldn't weep til the train had left the station. She almost managed it.
A most beautiful song of filial love.
