Thread Name: Tune Req: songs about the northern lights
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Northern Lights
Hello Everybody, There is a song called "The Northern Lights of Aberdeen" I remember it from when I was little, it was the first song I used to play on the button accordion!

When I was a lad, a tiny wee lad, my father said to me come see the northern lights my boy they're bright as they can be they call them the heavenly dancers many dancers in the sky I'll never forget that wonderful sight, they made the heavens bright

the northern lights of old aberdeen mean home sweet home to me the northern lights of aberdeen are what I long to see I've been a wanderer all of my life and many a sight I've seen god speed the day when I'm on my way to my home in Aberdeen

I can't remember the other verse though!

Catcha later!
