For fame and for fortune I wandered the earth
But now I re-turn to the land of my birth
I brought back my treasures but only to find
They're less than the pleasures I first left be-hind
CHORUS:
For these are my mountains, And this is my glen
The days of my childhood, I'll see them again
No land will ever tempt me, Nor far will I roam
For these are my mountains, And I'm going home
(Fiddle & Accordion Break)
Just been by the roadsign and I'm going back
The lark overhead wings a welcoming cry
No longer the droll plight; once more I will see
Sure, it's there that my heart lies - There I would be
CHORUS:
CHORUS (acapella)
