Scottish Soldier

Scottish Trad.

There was a soldier,
A Scottish soldier
Who wandered far away

And soldiered far away
There was none bolder,
With good broad shoulders,

He fought in many a fray
And fought and won

He's seen the glory,
He's told the story
Of battles glorious

And deeds victorious
But now he's sighing
His heart is crying

To leave these
Green hills of Tyroll

Because these green hills
Are not highland hills
Or the Islands hills

Their not my lands hills,
As fair as these Green
foreign hills may be

They are not the hills of home..

Because these green hills
Are not highland hills
Or the Islands hills

Their not my lands hills,
As 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
Trees leaves are falling,
And death is calling

And he will fade away,
On that dark land
He called his piper,

His trusty piper
And bade him sound away,
A pibroch sad to play

Upon a hillside
But Scottish hillside
Not on these green hills of Tyrol

Because these green hills
Are not highland hills
Or the Islands hills

Their not my lands hills,
As fair as these
Green foreign hills may be

They are not the hills of home..

Because these green hills
Are not highland hills
Or the Islands hills

Their not my lands hills,
As fair as these Green
foreign hills may be

They are not the hills of home..

And now this soldier
This Scottish soldier
Who wanders far no more,

And soldiers far no more
Now on a hillside,
A Scottish hillside

You'll see a piper
Play this soldier home
He's seen the glory,

He's told the story
Of battles glorious
And deeds victorious

But he will cease now,
He is at peace now
Far from these Green hills of Tyroll

Because these green hills
Are not highland hills
Or the Islands hills

Their not my lands hills,
As fair as these
Green foreign hills may be

They are not the hills of home..

Because these green hills
Are not highland hills
Or the Islands hills

Their not my lands hills,
As fair as these Green
foreign hills may be

They are not the hills of home..
