G'day bbc,Could you give us a few more clues? I can't place any of Wee Eric's songs with those exact words. Obviously, he is very well-known for his songs 'No Man's Land' and Band Played Waltzing Matilda" but he has written many songs. they aren't always known by his original titles and the opening lines would be a great help.
I must admit that the line "Across the Hills of Home" keeps reminding me of the Andy Stewart pop hit of the 1960s - "The Scottish Soldier".
