Lyrics

Chorus
Oh ro soon shall I see them;
Oh he ro see them oh see them
Oh ro soon shall I see them the
Mist covered mountains of home

There shall I visit the place of my birth
And they'll give me a welcome the warmest on earth
All so loving and kind full of music and mirth
In the sweet sounding language of home

Chorus
Oh ro soon shall I see them;
Oh he ro see them oh see them
Oh ro soon shall I see them the
Mist covered mountains of home

There shall I gaze on the mountains again
On the fields and the woods and the burns and the glens
Away 'mong the corries beyond human ken
In the haunts of the deer I will roam

Chorus
Oh ro soon shall I see them;
Oh he ro see them oh see them
Oh ro soon shall I see them the
Mist covered mountains of home

Hail to the mountains with summits of blue
To the glens with their meadows of sunshine and dew
To the women and men ever constant and true
Ever ready to welcome one home
