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.
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.
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.
