This is a song composed in 1856 by John Cameron (Iain Camshron)<\/a>, a native of Ballachulish, Scotland; Cliff often sings this early in our sets.\u00a0 It has that modal and dark sound that followers of Celtic songs and Outlander seem to be drawn to.\u00a0 It had originally been composed in Scots Gaelic but has been translated to English and performed by several interpreters, so there are variations in the English, such as these much<\/a> like Cliff’s version.\u00a0 It’s also a popular slow march in the highland piping tradition.<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nOh ro soon shall I see them;
\nOh he ro see them oh see them.
\nOh ro soon shall I see them the
\nMist covered mountains of home.<\/p>\n

There shall I visit the place of my birth
\nAnd they’ll give me a welcome the warmest on earth
\nAll so loving and kind full of music and mirth,
\nIn the sweet-sounding language of home.<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

There shall I gaze on the mountains again,
\nOn the fields and the woods and the burns and the glens,
\nAway ‘mong the corries beyond human ken
\nIn the haunts of the deer, I will roam<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Hail to the mountains with summits of blue,
\nTo the glens with their meadows of sunshine and dew.
\nTo the women and men ever constant and true,
\nEver ready to welcome one home.<\/p>\n

Chorus 2x<\/p>\n
