My Heart’s In The Highlands Robert Burns

Tune—"Failte na Miosg."

[Chorus]
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.

[Verse]
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.

[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.
