lyrics

I went walking down in old Glencoe
And the mountains and the ghosts of long ago
Stirred my soul
So I’m heading north as far as I can get
If there’s peace on earth that must be where it is
Is it you sweet peace?

I’ve been called up and I’m going to go
For to live in the mountain tops and to walk in the snow

City life and southern climes are in
But the price is high and the air is wearing thin
And so is my skin
Though to leave it takes a sacrifice
All the people at my back I’ve called my life
Well perhaps they’ll write

But I’ve been called up and I’m going to go
For to live in the mountain tops
Piss my name in the snow
