Grannys Highland Home
I was wondering if anyone could help me find the words of this old song which my mother sang to our family in the 1940's & 50's. Would appreciate any help. Thank you
Hi,
This song was apparently written by a scotsman, Sandy MacFarlane, who emigrated to the US.
Granny's Hielan' Hame
Chorus:
Where the heather bells are blooming just outside Granny's door
Where as laddies there we played in the days of long ago
Neath the shadow of Ben Bhragie and Golspie's loudly stane
How I wished that I could see my Granny's Hielan' hame
Away in the Hielands
There stands a wee hoose
And it stands on the breast of the brae
Where we played as laddies
Sae long long ago
And it seems it was just yesterday
Chorus
I can still see old Granny
A smile on her face
As sweet as the heather dew
When she kissed me good-bye
Wi' a tear in her eye
And said, 'Laddie may God bless you'
Chorus
with kind regards
Peter
