The Hiking Song

The Hiking Song - Kenneth McKellar

Oh the wanderlust is on me

And tonight I strike the trail

And the morning sun will find me

In the lovely Lomond Vale

Then I'll hike it through Glen Falloch

Where the mountain breezes blow

And we'll dmm up in the evening

In the valley of Glencoe

Then swing along to a hiking song

On the highway winding west

Tramping highland glens and bracken bens

To greet the Isles we love the best

Then I'll bivouac and slumber

Till the dawn gives place to day

And I'll wander by the river

That inspired old Ossian's Lay

Then I'll do some mountaineering

On the Bidean's snowy crest

Well I view the Hills on Derry

And the islands of the west

Then swing along to a hiking song

On the highway winding west

Tramping highland glens and bracken bens

To greet the Isles we love the best

When the wanderlust will leave me

And I grow too old to roam

Still the memory will linger

Of my lovely highland home

Silvery streams and mmbling rivers

Verdant vales and glorious glens

And the pride of Caledonia

Heather hills and bracken bens

Then swing along to a hiking song

On the highway winding west

Tramping highland glens and bracken bens

To greet the Isles we love the best

Then swing along to a hiking song

On the highway winding west

Tramping highland glens and bracken bens

To greet the Isles we love the best
