1. |
|
My heart's in the
Highlands, my heart is not here; |
|
2. |
|
Farewell to the
Highlands, farewell to the North, |
| |
|
My heart's in the Highlands a chasing the deer; |
|
|
|
The birth-place of valour, the country of worth; |
| |
|
Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe- |
|
|
|
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, |
| |
|
My heart's in the Highlands wherever I go. |
|
|
|
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love. |
|
|

|
|
| 3. |
|
Farewell to the mountains
high cover'd with snow; |
|
4. |
|
My heart's in the
Highlands, my heart is not here, |
| |
|
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below; |
|
|
|
My heart's in the Highlands a chasing a deer; |
| |
|
Farewell to the forests and wild hanging woods; |
|
|
|
Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe- |
| |
|
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods. |
|
|
|
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go. |
