My Heart's In the Highlands

by Else Torp, Christopher Bowers-Broadbent

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.
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North
The birthplace of valor, the country of worth
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
Farewell to the mountains high covered 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.
