1. There's a wee hoose on the hillside that I haven't seen for years,

                D7                   D                    D7                            G

    I've an awful longing feeling and my eyes whiles well wi' tears.

         G       D                     G                    D

    When I think on a' the happy days I spent beside that spot,

      G          C                E                 A                          A7               D

    and the games we played when laddies there will never be forgot.

2. Tho' A'm far awa' frae Scotland and the scenes I lo'e sae weel,

                    D7                        D                   D7                G

    there's a beat for the auld country that in ev'ry pulse I feel.

      G          D                       G                       D

    For tho' other lands are bonnie, and tho’ other folks are kind,

       G         C                E           A                A7               D

    there is one scene, and one only, that is ever in my mind.

    there's a wee hoose o'er the sea,

                          D7                  D                          D7              G

    and there's a lassie in yon wee hoose waitin' patiently for me,

    She's the picture o' perfection, O! I wouldna' tell a lee,

       G           C         E             A                        D7          G

    could ye see her ye would love her just the same as me.
