[Verse 1] Down a forgotten track I found a little loch Surrounded by red ferns Where the sun sets late The hills were filled with heather And the sheep bleat still The weather's getting wetter And I got lost on the way home [Chorus] And I miss the ferns and I miss the lochs I miss the hills and I miss the fog I miss the midges I miss the deer I miss the heather I miss my home [Verse 2] And I wish I was still there Where the red ferns grow I want to wake up every day Where the red ferns grow I want to grow my herb Where the red ferns grow I want to be buried by the loch Where the red ferns grow [Chorus] And I miss the ferns and I miss the lochs I miss the hills and I miss the fog I miss the midges I miss the deer I miss the heather I miss my home [Bridge] Well They say the grass is greener On the other side And I thought the hills were higher And the mist more mystifying And I thought I'd found my home In the heart of the blue mountains But I realised when I came down That it was just the weed to blame [Chorus] And I miss the ferns and I miss the lochs I miss the hills and I miss the fog I miss the midges I miss the deer I miss the heather I miss my home [dub chorus to fade]
