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 Farewell to the torrents And loud-pouring floods
