| My Heart’s In The Highlands
|
| My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
|
| My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer —
|
| A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
|
| My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go.
|
| Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North
|
| The birth place of Valour, the country of Worth;
|
| Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
|
| The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
|
| Farewell to the mountains high cover’d with snow;
|
| Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
|
| Farewell to the forrests and wild-hanging woods;
|
| Farwell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
|
| My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
|
| My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer
|
| Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
|
| My heart’s in the Highlands, whereever I go. |
