The Northern Lights Of Old Aberdeen

Oh, the Northern Lights of old Aberdeen
Sing home sweet home to me,
The Northern Lights of Aberdeen
Are all I long to see;
I've been a wanderer all of my life
And many's the sight I've seen,
God speed the day when I'm on my way
To my home in Aberdeen.

When I was a lad, a tiny wee lad,
My mother said to me,
Come see the Northern Lights, my boy,
They' re bright as they can be;
She called them the heavenly dancers,
Merry dancers in the sky,
Sure I'll never forget, that wonderful sight
They made the heavens bright.

I've wandered in many far-off lands,
Travelled many's the mile,
I've missed the folk I've cherished most,
The joy of a friendly smile;
It warms up the heart of the wand'rer,
The clasp of a welcoming hand,
To welcome me when I return
Home to my own native land.
