My Heart's in the Hightlands
Robert Burns
My heart 's in the Highlands , my heart' s 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 whereever I go.
Farewell to the Highlands ,farewell to the North!
The birthplace of valour,wherever I love,
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 bellow!
farewell to the forests and wild-handing woods!
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods!
My heart's in the Highlands,my heart in 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 .
