A / way wi' / Canada's / muddy / creeks, and / Canada's / fields of / pine,/
Your / land of / wheat is a / goodly land, but / oh, it / is not / mine./
The / heathy / hill, the / grassy / dale. the / daisy / spangled / le - / a,
The / purling / burn and / craggy / linn, Auld / Scotland's / glens give /
me. ///
Oh, / I would / like to / hear a - / gain the / lark on / Tinny's / hi - /
ll, and
See the / wee bit / gowany that / blooms be - / side the / rill. /
Like / banished / Swiss who / views a - / far his / Alps with / longing /
I / gaze up - / on the / morning / star that / shines on / my / count - /
ry. / /
No / more I'll / win by / Eskdale / glen or / Pentland's / craggy / co - /
mb. /
The / days can / ne'er come / back a - / gain of / thirty / years that's /
gone, /
But / fancy / oft at / midnight / hour will / steal a - / cross the / se - /
ea, / and
Yester - / eve, in a / pleasant / dream, I / saw the / old count - / ry. //
Flute Solo (one verse instrumental)
Each / well-known / scene that / met my / view brought / childhood's / joys / F / G
to / mi - / nd.
The / blackbird / sang on / Tushey / linn the / song he / sang, "Lang /
Sy - / ne".
But / like a / dream time / flies a - / way, a - / gain, the / morning /
ca - / me,
I a - / woke in / Cana - / da, three / thousand / miles frae - / hame.
Oh / like a / dream time / flies a - / way, a - / gain, the / morning /
ca - / me,
I a - / woke in / Cana - / da, three / thousand / miles frae - / hame. ///
