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
forests 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, wherever I go
