My Heart’s in the Hielands

My heart’s in the hielands, my heart is no’ here.
My heart’s in the hielands a-chasin’ the deer.
A-chasin’ the wild deer and following the roe.
My heart’s in the hielands wherever I go.

Farewell to the hielands, farewell to the North.
The birth place of valour, the country of worth.
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam.
The hills of the hielands, forever I love.

Chorus

Farewell to the mountains, high-cover'd 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!
