- For fame and for fortune, I wandered the earth
And now I've come back to
This land of my birth
Ive 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 oer the head wings
With welcoming cry
The loch where the scart flies
At last I can see
Its here where my heart lies
Its here Ill 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
