| Chorus |
| 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.
|
| 1. |
| Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the
North, |
| The birthpace of valour, the country of
worth |
| Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, |
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
|
| 2. |
| 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.
