There was a soldier a Scottish soldier
Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
There was none bolder with good broad shoulder
He`s fought in many a fray and fought and won
He`d seen the glory and told the story
Of battles glorious of deeds victorious
But now he`s sighing his heart is crying
To leave these green hills of Tyrol
CHORUS
Because these green hills are not high-land hills
Or the island hills they`re not my lands hills
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
They are not the hills of home
