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.
