MY HEART' IN THE NORTHLAND!
My heart's in the Northland, my heart's far away!
My heart's in the Northland by night and by day;
No matter how lonely, no matter how drear,
My heart's in the Northland, my heart is not here.
My heart's in the Northland by night and by day;
No matter how lonely, no matter how drear,
My heart's in the Northland, my heart is not here.
I love its deep ravines, I love its high hills,
With love for the Northland my heart ever thrills;
Wherever I wander, wherever I go,
My heart's with the Northland, its ice and its snow.
With love for the Northland my heart ever thrills;
Wherever I wander, wherever I go,
My heart's with the Northland, its ice and its snow.
Farewell to the Northland, Fate calls me afar;
The doorway to fortune seems standing ajar;
But whatever the lessons in life I may learn,
My heart to the Northland shall ever return.
The doorway to fortune seems standing ajar;
But whatever the lessons in life I may learn,
My heart to the Northland shall ever return.
