A Scottish Soldier (Green Hills Of Tyrol) |
| 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’s seen the glory |
| He told the story |
| Of battles glorious |
| And deeds victorious |
| But now he’s sighing |
| His heart is crying |
| To leave those |
| Green hills of Tyrol |
| Because these green hills |
| Are not Highland hills |
| Or the island hills |
| They’re not my land’s hills |
| And fair as these |
| Green foreign hills may be |
| They are not the hills of home |
| And now this soldier |
| This Scottish soldier |
| Who wandered far away |
| And soldiered far away |
| Sees leaves are falling |
| And death is calling |
| And he will fade away |
| In that far land |
| He’s called his piper |
| His trusty piper |
| And bade him sound alay |
| A pi-broch sad to play |
| Upon a hillside |
| A Scottish hillside |
| Not on these |
| Green hills of Tyrol |
| And now this soldier |
| This Scottish soldier |
| Will wander far no more |
| And soldier far no more |
| And on a hillside |
| A Scottish hillside |
| You’ll see a piper |
| Play his soldier home |
| He’s seen the glory |
| He’s told the story |
| Of battles glorious |
| And deeds victorious |
| The bugles cease now |
| He is at peace now |
| Far from those |
| Green hills of Tyrol |
