I was born among the hills
Never far from the sea
Raised a farmer in a green, green land
No work for me
Found a girl that I love
Made a home to keep us warm
I was young when they sent for me
An' I was gone
And I'm bound for Montana
On a big ship heading West
Just a boy from the islands
Getting paid to do my best
An' I remember the mountains
I pray my family's safe
I've years left of working
Before I'll be home again
Work a long day in the summer
On the prairie in the sun
Walk for miles on the hard grey land, the day is done
Starry night at the fire
Sing a song to tame the flock
Disappear to my cold cold bed beneath the rocks
And I'm bound for Montana
On a big ship heading West
Just a boy from the islands
Getting paid to do my best
An' I remember the mountains
I pray my family's safe
I've years left of working
Before I'll be home again
Seven years I've been away
From the shelter on the glen
I still dream of my sweet, sweet heart
Now and again
For the town we need the money
I've gotta stay and pay my dues
I hope some days that I'll return, return with you.
And I'm bound for Montana
On a big ship heading West
Just a boy from the islands
Getting paid to do my best
An' I remember the mountains
I pray my family's safe
I've years left of working
Before I'll be home again
Before I'll be home again
Before I'll be home again
