Home, home, soon shall I see them, oh!
Hey-ho, see them, oh see them, oh!
Ho-roe, soon shall I see them,
The mist covered mountains of home!
Soon shall I visit the place of my birth,
And they'll give me a welcome, the warmest on earth,
So loving and kind, full of music and mirth,
In the sweet sounding language of home.
Home, home, soon shall I see them, oh!
Hey-ho, see them, oh see them, oh!
Ho-roe, soon shall I see them,
The mist covered mountains of home!
There I shall gaze on the mountains again,
The sweet smelling woods, the hills and the glen,
And away among people beyond human ken,
In the haunt of the deer I shall roam.
Home, home, soon shall I see them, oh!
Hey-ho, see them, oh see them, oh!
Ho-roe, soon shall I see them,
The mist covered mountains of home!
Hail to the mountains, their summits so blue,
To the hills and the valleys with sunshine and dew.
To the women and men and the friends that I knew,
And the way that they welcome one home.
Home, home, soon shall I see them, oh!
Hey-ho, see them, oh see them, oh!
Ho-roe, soon shall I see them,
The mist covered mountains of home!
Home, home, soon shall I see them, oh!
Hey-ho, see them, oh see them, oh!
Ho-roe, soon shall I see them,
The mist covered mountains of home!
Hey-ho, see them, oh see them, oh!
Ho-roe, soon shall I see them,
The mist covered mountains of home!
Soon shall I visit the place of my birth,
And they'll give me a welcome, the warmest on earth,
So loving and kind, full of music and mirth,
In the sweet sounding language of home.
Home, home, soon shall I see them, oh!
