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
