The northern lights
of old Aberdeen
mean home
sweet home to me
The northern
lights of Aberdeen
are what I long to see
I've been a wandering
all of my life
and many a sight I've seen
Godspeed the day
when I'm on my way
to my home in Aberdeen
When I was a
lad, a tiny wee lad
my mother said to me:
Come, see the
northern lights, my boy
They're bright
as they can be
She called them the
heavenly dancers
Pretty dancers in the sky
I'll never forget that
wonderful sight
They made the
heavens bright
The northern lights
of old Aberdeen
mean home
sweet home to me
The northern
lights of Aberdeen
are what I long to see
I've been a wandering
all of my life
and many a sight I've seen
Godspeed the day
when I'm on my way
to my home in Aberdeen
I've wandered in many
far off lands
and travelled many a mile
I've seen the folks
I've cherished most
The joy of a friendly smile
It warms up the heart
of the wanderer
The clasp of a
welcoming hand
To greet me when I return
home to my native land
The northern lights
of old Aberdeen
mean home
sweet home to me
The northern lights
of Aberdeen
are what I long to see
I've been a wandering
all of my life
and many a sight I've seen
Godspeed the day
when I'm on my way
to my home in Aberdeen
