Lonely I wander through scenes of my childhood 
They bring back to memory the happy days of yore 
Gone are the old folk, the house stands deserted 
No light in the window, no welcome at the door 

Here's where the children played games on the heather 
Here's where they sailed their wee boats on the burn 
Where are they now? Some are dead, some have wandered 
No more to their home will the children return 

Lonely the house now, and lonely the moorland 
The children have scattered, the old folk are gone 
Why stand I here, like a ghost or a shadow? 
Tis time I was movin', tis time I passed on.
