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.
