my heart's in the highlands

　　tune—“failte na miosg.”

　　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.

　　chorus.—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 vallies below;

　　farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,

　　farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.

　　my heart's in the highlands, c.
