From the sheet music at The Maine Music Box:
THE WEE HOOSE 'MANG THE HEATHER
Words by Harry Lauder and Gilbert Wells, music by Fred Elton and Harry Lauder.
New York: T. B. Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter, ©1912.
1. There's a wee hoose on the hillside that I haven't seen for years.
I've an awful longing feeling and my eyes whiles dim wi' tears
When I think on a' the happy days I spent beside that spot,
And the games we played as laddies there will never be forgot.
CHORUS: There's a wee hoose 'mang the heather; there's a wee hoose o'er the sea.
There's a lassie in that wee hoose waitin' patiently for me.
She's the picture o' perfection, O! I wouldna tell a lee.
If ye seen her ye would love her just the same as me.
2. Though A'm far awa' frae Scotland and the scenes I lo'e sae weel,
There's a beat for the auld country that in ev'ry pulse I feel,
For though other lands are bonnie and the other folks are kind,
There is one scene and one only that is ever in my mind.
