My Heart's in the Highlands - Kenneth McKellar

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 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

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 birth-place of Valour

The country of Worth;

Wherever I wander

Wherever I rove

The hills of the Highlands

For ever I love

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
