These are two my favourites from that era ....

GRANNY'S HIGHLAND HAME

CHORUS: Where the heather bells are blooming just outside Granny's door,
Where as laddies there we played, in days of long ago.
'Neath the shadow of Ben Braggie and Golspie's lordly stane.
How I wish that I could see my Granny's Heilan' Hame.

VERSE: Far away in the Heilands there stands a wee hoose,
And it stands on the breest o' the brae.
Where we played as laddies there lang lang ago,
And it seems it was just yesterday.
I can still see old granny, a smile on her face,
Just as sweet as the heather dew.
When she kissed me good-bye with a tear in her eye,
Said laddie may God bless you.

MY AIN FOLK

Far frae my hame I wander but still my thoughts return
To my ain folk over yonder in the sheiling by the burn
I see the cosy ingle and the mist upon the brae
And joy and sadness mingle as I list some auld world lay

And it's oh but I'm longing for my ain folk
Though they be but lowly puir and plain folk
I am far beyond the sea but my heart will always be
Back hame in dear auld Scotland wi' my ain folk

A bonnie lassie's greetin' tho' she tries tae stay the tears
And sweet will be our meeting after many weary years
How my mother will caress me when I'm standing by her side
Now she prays that heaven will bless me through the stormy seas divide

And it' oh but I'm longing for my ain folk
Though they be but lowly pure and plain folk
I am far beyond the sea but my heart will always be
Back hame in dear auld Scotland wi’ my ain folk
