Far away in the Heilands there stauns a wee hoose
And it stauns on the breast o' the brae
Where we played as laddies there lang, lang ago
It seems it was just yesterday
I can still see old granny a smile on her face
Just as sweet as the heather dew
As she kissed me goodbye, with a tear in her eye
Saying "Laddie, may God bless you"
