Scottish Soldier Lyrics - Singles - Steve Mckenna

These are our soldiers, our Scottish soldiers 

Who wandered far away and soldiered far away 

There are none bolder with good broad shoulder 

Who fought in many affray, and fought and won 

Theyd seen the glory, and told the story 

Of battles glorious and deeds victorious 

Now theyre returning, their hearts are pounding 

To see those green hills of their home 

Because these green hills are the highland hills 

And the island hills, they are my hills 

As fair as these green, foreign hills may be 

They are not the hills of home 

And so these soldiers, these Scottish soldiers 

Will wander far away to fight another day 

And on a hillside, a Scottish hillside 

Theyll hear a piper play them home 

Theyd seen the glory, theyd told the story 

Of battles glorious and deeds victorious 

Our heroes home now, they must move on now 

Back to those green hills they call home 

Because these green hills are the highland hills 

And the island hills, they are my hills 

As fair as these green, foreign hills may be 

They are not the hills of home 

Because these green hills are the highland hills 

And the island hills, they are my hills 

As fair as those green, foreign hills may be 

They are not the hills of home 

And now these soldiers, these Scottish soldiers 

Who wandered far away, soldiered far away 

Our friends are falling, but hope is calling 

The fight for freedom in that far land
