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 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.

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!

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!
