Mist Covered Mountains of Home
Chorus
Ho ro soon shall I see them oh;
Hey ho see them oh see them.
Ho ro soon shall I see them
The mist covered mountains of home.
There shall I visit the place of my birth
And they'll give me a welcome the warmest on earth
So loving and kind full of music and mirth,
In the sweet sounding language of home.
Repeat chorus
There I shall gaze on the mountains again,
The sweet smelling woods, the hills and the glens,
And the way among people beyond human kin
In the haunt of the deer I shall roam
Repeat chorus
Hail to the mountains their summits so blue,
The hills and the valleys with sunshine and dew.
To the women and men and the friends that I knew,
And the way that they welcome one home.
