Lyrics:

Take me home, to the place where I first saw the light
To the sweet snowy north, take me home
Where the rain sings my poor soul tae sleep every night
O' Lord, why was I tempted to roam?
O' I think, with regret, of the dear ones I left
And the lassies who cherished me there
O' I want to go home, to the place that I belong
To the sweet snowy north, take me home
Take me home, to the place where the heather proudly grows
To my croft in the snowy mountain shade
Where the eagles are known for tae often come and go
As we watch them from the glen, there, down below
Well, the path to my croft, they say has grown green
And the glens are quite lonely all around
And I know that these smiles and the folks that I once knew
Now lie beneath the cold and purple ground
Take me back, let me see if what is left is what I knew
Can it be that my whole croft is gone?
Dear friends of my childhood, indeed, must be a few
O' and I must face my death all on my own
Take me back to the place where my bonnie loved one's sleep
Where my father lies peacefully by
And my homeland of Scotland, I long now for tae weep
And to rest there among them when I die
So take me home, to the place where I first saw the light
To the sweet snowy north, take me home
Where the rain sings my poor soul to sleep every night
O' why was I tempted to roam?
O' Lord, why was I tempted to roam?
