[00:01.82][00:40.50][00:57.82][01:35.92][01:54.48][02:39.09]
[00:08.78] There was a soldier, a Scottish soldier
[00:12.48] Who wandered far away, and soldiered far away
[00:16.58] There was non bolder, with good broad shoulder
[00:20.32] He's fought in many a fray, and fought and won.
[00:23.88] He's seen the glory, and told the story
[00:28.51] Of battles glorious, and deeds victorious
[00:32.55] But now he's sighing, his heart is crying
[00:36.51] To leave these green hills of Tyrol
[00:40.76][01:36.04][02:39.28][02:58.50] Because these green hills are not highland hills,
[00:45.27][01:41.04][02:44.21][03:02.78] Or the island hills, they're not my land's hills
[00:49.53][01:45.47][02:49.16][03:07.08] And fair as these green foreign hills may be
[00:53.16][01:49.49][02:54.09][03:12.53] They are not the hills of home
[01:03.59][01:59.74] And now this soldier, this Scottish soldier
[01:07.33] Who wandered far away, and soldiered far away
[01:11.62] Sees leaves are falling, and death is calling
[01:15.38] And he will fade away, in that far land
[01:19.76] He's called his piper his trusty piper
[01:23.84] And bade him sound alay, A pi-broch sad to play
[01:28.19] Up on a hillside, but Scottish hillside
[01:31.77] Not on these green hills of Tyrol...
[02:05.18] Will wander far no more, and soldier far no more
[02:10.54] And on a hillside, a Scottish hillside
[02:14.85] You'll see a piper play his soldier home
[02:19.82] He's seen the glory, he's told the story
[02:24.62] Of battles glourious and deeds victorious
[02:29.65] The bugles cease now, he is at peace now
[02:34.31] Far from those green hills of Tyrol...
