| Where'er thou art by wayward fancy led | B |

| The light and glory of the house have fled | B |
| The autumn shiver of the linden tree | A |
| Is like the pang that thrills my frame for thee | A |

| Georgie come home To parents brother sister | C |
| Thy place is vacant in this lonely hall | D |

| Georgie come home The winds and waves are singing | G |
| The mournful music of their parting song | H |

| And bring good tidings of my daughter dear | I |

| Georgie come home The forest leaves are falling | G |
| And dreary visions in thy absence come | J |
| The fountain on the hill in vain is calling | G |
| Thee my beloved one to thy woodland home | K |
| And I imagine every passing breeze | L |
| Whispers thy name among the moaning trees | L |
| - | |
| Georgie come home Thy gentle look can banish | M |
| The gathering gloom round this once cheerful hearth | N |
| In thy sweet presence all our care will vanish | M |
| And sorrow soften into mellow mirth | O |
| Return my darling never more to roam | K |
| Heart of the Highlands Georgie dear come home | K |
