My Hearts In The Highlands（1 / 1）

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.
