Hills Of Strathavon

HILLS OF STRATHAVON

I am home among the cedar, those arbour vitae greener
Than the hills of Strathavon
Where my love and I did wander, like rolling rivers under
That full moon a rising high

And her kisses they grew sweeter, our loving knew no fear
When the song of spring arrived
But this world it could not keep her, she fell then fell deeper
Down that mountainside

Now I’m home among the cedar, those arbour vitae greener
Than the hills of Strathavon
Where my love and I did wander, like rolling rivers under
That full moon a rising high

And I knew I could not save her, for the ice was on the river
And the snow banks way too high
But when I get to dying, you know I will be smiling
For to see my true lover’s eyes

Now I’m home among the cedar, those arbour vitae greener
Than the hills of Strathavon
Where my love and I did wander, like rolling rivers under
That full moon a rising high
That full moon a rising high, that full moon a rising high
