-5 6 -5 5 -5 6
my moth-er said to me,
3 3 2 3 3 4 -3 -3′ 3
6 6 5 6 6 7 -7 -6 6
“Come see the North-ern Lights my boy,
-2′ 3 -2′ 2 -1 1

they’re bright as they can be.”

She called them the heav-en-ly danc-ers,

3 -3′ -3′ -2′ -3’3 2 -1

The North-ern Lights of Ab-er-deen,

I’ve been a wan-d’rer all of my life

and man-y a sight I’ve seen.
3 -3′ -2′ 4 -3′ 3 2 4 4

God speed the day when I’m on my way
4 -3′ -3 4 4 4 4
7 -6 -7 7 7 7 7
