Scottish Soldier Song Lyrics

Scottish Soldier

There was a soldier, a Scottish soldier
Who wandered far away, and soldiered far away
There was non bolder, with good broad shoulder
He's fought in many a fray, and fought and won.
He's seen the glory, and told the story 
Of battles glorious, and deeds victorious 
But now he's sighing, his heart is crying 
To leave these green hills of Tyrol

Because these green hills are not highland hills, 
Or the island hills, they're not my land's hills 
And fair as these green foreign hills may be 
They are not the hills of home

And now this soldier, this Scottish soldier 
Who wandered far away, and soldiered far away 
Sees leaves are falling, and death is calling 
And he will fade away, in that far land 
He's called his piper his trusty piper 
And bade him sound alay, A pibroch sad to play 
Up on a hillside, but Scottish hillside 
Not on these green hills of Tyrol

Chorus 

And so this soldier, this Scottish soldier 
Will wander far no more, and soldier far no more 
And on a hillside, a Scottish hillside 
You'll see a piper play his soldier home 
He's seen the glory, he's told the story 
Of battles glourious and deeds victorious 
The bugles cease now, he is at peace now 
Far from those green hills of Tyrol

Chorus
