Robert Burns
(1759-1796)
My Heart's in the Highlands
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 birthplace 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.
