These Are My Mountains

For fame and for fortune I wandered the earth
 And now I've come back to the 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
 (Last) and I have come home
 The burn by the road sings at my going by
 The whaup averhead wings with welcoming cry
 The loch where the scart flies at last I can see
 It's here that my heart lies it's here I'll be free
 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
 (Last) and I have come home
 Kind faces will meet me and welcome me in
 And how they will greet me my ain kith and kin
 The night round the ingle old songs will be sung
 At last I'll be hearing my ain mother tongue.
 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
 (Last) and I have come home
