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.
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.
