My heart is in the Highlands
My heart’s not here.
My heart’s in the Highlands,
Achasing the deer.
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 birthplace of valour,
The country of the 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 fortets and
Wild hanging woods,
Farewell to the torrents and
Loud-pouring floods.
My heart’s in the Highlands,
My heart’s not here.
My heart’s in the Highlands,
Achasing the deer,
And following the roe,
My heart’s in the Highlands,
Wherever I go. |
