Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen 



When I was a child, a tiny wee child, 

My mother said to me, 

Come see the Northern lights my child, 

They're bright as they can be. 

She called them the heavenly dancers, 

Merry dancers in the sky 

I'll never forget that wonderful sight, 

They made the heavens bright. 



Chorus 

Oh the Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen 

Seem home sweet home to me. 

The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen 

Are what I long to see 

I've been a wand'rer all of my life 

And many's a sight I've seen 

Godspeed the day, 

When I'm on my way 

To my home in Aberdeen. 



I've wandered in many far off lands, 

Traveled many a mile 

I've missed the folk I've cherished most, 

The joy of a friendly smile 

It warms up the heart of the wand'rer, 

The clasp of a welcoming hand 

To greet me when I return, 

Home to my own native land. 

Chorus
