Biografia:
Andy Stewart (30 December 1933 - 11 October 1993) was a Scottish singer and entertainer.
The use of tartan patriotism and stereotypical Scottish humour goes back to Sir Harry Lauder and music hall songs. In the 1960s this strand was continued by entertainer Andy Stewart.
He was born in Glasgow in 1933, the son of a teacher. He moved to Arbroath as a child and then trained as an actor at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow.

Verse 1
C
There was a soldier a Scottish soldier
G C
Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
There was none bolder with good broad shoulder
G C
He's fought in many a fray and fought and won
He'd seen the glory and told the story
G C
Of battles glorious and deeds victorious
But now he's sighing his heart is crying
G C
To leave these green hills of Tyrol
Chorus
C F C
Because these green hills are not highland hills
G C
Or the island hills they're not my land's hills
F C
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
G C F C G C
They are not the hills of home
Verse 2
C
And now this soldier this Scottish soldier
G C
Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
Sees leaves are falling and death is calling
G C
And he will fade away in that far land
D
He called his piper his trusty piper
G C
And bade him sound a lay a pibroch sad to play
Upon a hill-side a Scottish hillside
G C
Not on these green hills of Tyrol
Chorus
C F C
Because these green hills are not highland hills
G C
Or the island hills they're not my land's hills
F C
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
G C F C G C
They are not the hills of home
Verse 3
C
And so this soldier this Scottish soldier
G C
Will wander far no more and soldier far no more
And on a hillside a Scottish hillside
G C
You'll see that piper play his soldier home
He's seen the glory he's told the story
G C
Of battles glorious and deeds victorious
The bugles cease now he is at peace now
G C
Far from those green hills of Tyrol
Chorus
C F C
Because these green hills are not highland hills
G C
Or the island hills they're not my land's hills
F C
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
G C
They are not the hills of home
Chorus
C F C
Although those green hills are not highland hills
G C
Or the island hills they're not my land's hills
F C
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
G C
They are not the hills of home
Chorus

Those green hills are not highland hills

Or the island hills they're not my land's hills

And fair as these green foreign hills may be
