The northern lights of auld Aberdeen,
Mean home sweet home tae me,
The northern lights of Aberdeen,
Are all I long to see.
I've been a wanderer all of my life,
And many a sight I've seen,
God speed 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,
They danced up in the sky,
I'll never forget that wonderful sight,
They made the heavens bright.
The northern lights of auld Aberdeen,
Mean home sweet home tae me,
The northern lights of Aberdeen,
Are all I long to see.
I've been a wanderer all of my life,
And many a sight I've seen,
God speed the day when I'm on my way
To my home in Aberdeen.
God speed the day when I'm on my way
To my home in Aberdeen.
