[Intro] (8 bars) [verse 1] Though far I must travel o’er ocean and plain… No gold of the lowlands can ransom my pain… For still in the northlands my spirit roams free… Where freedom was cradled, and first fashioned me… [Chorus] My home’s in the Highlands, my home is not here… My home’s in the Highlands, with eagle and deer… Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe… My home’s in the Highlands, wherever I go… The birth-place of valour, the country of Worth; Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, The hills of the Highlands for ever I love. [Chorus] My home’s in the Highlands, my home is not here… My home’s in the Highlands, with eagle and deer… Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe… My home’s in the Highlands, wherever I go… [verse 3] 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. [Chorus] My home’s in the Highlands, my home is not here… My home’s in the Highlands, with eagle and deer… Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe… My home’s in the Highlands, wherever I go… [instrumental] (16 bars) [verse 4] Farewell to the mountains, all-cover'd with snow, Farewell to the lochs and green valleys below; Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods, Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods. [Chorus] My home’s in the Highlands, my home is not here… My home’s in the Highlands, with eagle and deer… Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe… My home’s in the Highlands, wherever I go… [instrumental] (16 bars) [Chorus] My home’s in the Highlands, my home is not here… My home’s in the Highlands, my home is not here… My home’s in the Highlands, with eagle and deer… Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe… My home’s in the Highlands, wherever I go…
