These Are My Mountains
For fame and for fortune, I wandered
the earth
And now I've come back to
This land of my birth
I’ve
brought back my treasures
But only to find
They're less than the
pleasures
I first left behind
For these are my mountains,
And this is my glen
The braes of my childhood, Will know me again
No
land's ever claimed me, Tho'far I did roam
For these are my mountains, And I'm going home
.
The
burn by the road sings, at my going by
The whaup o’er the head wings
With
welcoming cry
The loch where the scart flies
At last I can see
Its
here where my heart lies
It’s here I’ll be free
Chorus
Kind
faces will greet me
And welcome me in
And how they will greet
me
My ain kith and kin
This night round the ingle
Old
songs will be sung
At last I'll be hearing My ain mother tongue
Chorus
