MY HEART''S IN THE HIGHLANDS
Robert Burns 1759–1796

  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 Highlands, farewell to the North,         
The birthplace of valour, the country of worth;
 Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands forever 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.
  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.
