My heart's in the Highlands



Chorus

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!


I

Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,
The birthplace of valour, the country of worth!
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.


II

Farewell to the mountains high cover'd with snow,
Farewell to the straths and green valleys bellow,
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods!


Chorus

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!
