These Are My Mountains (lyrics)
For fame and for fortune I wandered the earth And now I've come back to This land of my birthI’ve brought back my treasuresBut only to findThey're less than the pleasuresI first left behind
Chorus
For these are my mountainsAnd this is my glenThe braes of my childhoodWill know me againNo land's ever claimed me Tho'far I did roam For these are my mountainsAnd I'm going home
The burn by the road singsAt my going byThe whaup o’er the head wingsWith welcoming cryThe loch where the scart flies At last I can see Its here where my heart liesIt’s here I’ll be free
Chorus
Kind faces will greet meAnd welcome me in And how they will greet meMy ain kith and kinThis night round the ingleOld songs will be sungAt last I'll be hearing My ain mother tongue
Chorus
