Sung by Andy Stewart
Come join and
sing and celebrate with joy and happiness;
We'll raise a glass and drink a
toast to dear old Inverness;
Oh how I love my highland town,
the one I love the best;
I've been away, so long away, from
home in Inverness.
All through my
world when once again I saw the hills and sea
Surrounding my dear Castle Hill
whose landmarks yet I see ....
There's Raigmore Wid, the Auld
Mill Burn, the Barracks on the hill;
Each one appears to welcome me on
en'tring by Cantrill.
I'll climb my
son a hoary hop and wander by the brae,
And step me down with memories of
happy bygone day;
And once again I'll walk the way
that leads to Castle Hill
Where Flora searches for her
Prince and keeps her vigil still.
Come let us
join and celebrate with joy and happiness;
We'll raise a glass and drink a
toast to dear old Inverness;
Oh how I miss my highland town,
the one I love the best;
For I've been away, too long away,
from home in Inverness.
My home in
Inverness !
