Lyrics

  1. My prairie home is beautiful, but oh
    I miss the broken skyline that I know
    I look in vain for rivers and for lakes
    But over all my heart at sunset aches
    For hills of home, the hills of home
  2. The everlasting hills, how firm they stand
    Their mighty summits braced, a Titan band
    Uplifting hoary foreheads to the blast
    When Indian summer’s golden glow is past
    Oh, hills of home, the hills of home
  3. I know them, love them, see them once again
    Their cloudy summits veiled in misty rain
    Or softly, dimly blue, or capped with snow
    I’m homesick for you, mountains that I know
    Oh, hills of home, the hills of home
    Oh, hills, the hills of home
