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 birth place of Valour, the country of Worth; 
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, 
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.

Farewell to the mountains high cover'd with snow; 
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below; 
Farewell to the forrests and wild-hanging woods; 
Farwell 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, whereever I go.
