for fame and for fortune i wandered the earth but now i re turn to the land of my birth i brought back my treasures but only to find they re less than the pleasures i first left be hind chorus for these are my mountains and this is my glen the days of my childhood i ll see them again no land will ever tempt me nor far will i roam for these are my mountains and i m going home just been by the roadsign and i m going back the lark overhead wings a welcoming cry no longer the droll plight once more i will see sure it s there that my heart lies there i would be chorus chorus
