| 1. |
My heart's
in the Highlands, my heart is not here; |
2. | 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. |
|
| 3. | 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. |
4. | My heart's in the
Highlands, my heart is not here, My heart's in the Highlands a chasing a deer; Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe- My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go. |

| The Skye Boat Song |
| Opening | Speed bonnie
boat, like a bird on the wing, Onward, the sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be king Over the sea to skye |
|||
| 1. | Loud the winds
howl, loud the waves roar, Thunder clouds rend the air; Baffled our foe's stand on the shore Follow they will not dare |
Refrain | Speed bonnie
boat, like a bird on the wing, Onward, the sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be king Over the sea to skye |
|
| 2. | Though the waves leap,
soft shall ye sleep Ocean's a royal bed Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep Watch by your weary head |
Refrain | Speed bonnie
boat, like a bird on the wing, Onward, the sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be king Over the sea to skye |
|
| 3. | Many's the lad fought on
that day Well the claymore could wield When the night came, silently lay Dead on Culloden's field |
Refrain | Speed bonnie boat, like a
bird on the wing, Onward, the sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be king Over the sea to skye |
|
| 4. | Burned are our homes,
exile and death Scatter the loyal men Yet, e'er the sword cool in the sheath, Charlie will come again. |
Refrain | Speed bonnie boat, like a
bird on the wing, Onward, the sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be king Over the sea to skye |
