Take Me Back

In a far distant land by a fair and golden strand
There I met a highland laddie in the morning
and he sang me a song as he proudly marched along
o' the lands of lochs and glens and silver seas

Chorus:
Take me back take me back again where the heather hills are high
and i'll hear the mavis singing in the morning
oh there's no place on earth like the homeland of my birth
oh my scotland i am coming home to you.

Now there's wonders i have seen in the countries i have been
and there's beauty in the land where i have wandered
but while i have traveled free yet my heart kept calling me
To the lands of lochs and glens and silver seas

Chorus

I have stood on the shores where the great pacific roars
from out yonder tae down under i have wandered
and there places i have walked from baith sydney to new york
but gie me my lands of lochs and glens and silver seas

Chorus

From Stranrear to Kintyre from kilcreggan up tae skye
from cape ross to inverness and broder shieling
that the world o' my home and longing now far off
tae the lands of lochs and glens and silver seas
