English text

Come along, come along, let us foot it out together
Come along, come along, be it fair or stormy weather
With the hills o’ home before us and the purple o’ the heather
We’ll sing a happy chorus, come along

Oh now gaily sings the lark and the sky is awake
With the promise of the day as the road we gladly take
It’s heel and toe and forward bidding farewell to the town
And the welcome that awaits us ere the sun goes down

Come along, come along, let us foot it out together
Come along, come along, be it fair or stormy weather
With the hills o’ home before us and the purple o’ the heather
We’ll sing a happy chorus, come along

It’s the call of sea and shore, it’s the tang of bog and peat,
It’s the scent of brier and myrtle that puts magic in your feet
So home we go rejoicing over bracken over stile
And soon we will be footing out that last long mile

Come along, come along, let us foot it out together
Come along, come along, be it fair or stormy weather
With the hills o’ home before us and the purple o’ the heather
We’ll sing a happy chorus, come along
