A DROP OF SCOTCH
Farewell 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 covered with snow, Farewell to the straths and green valleys below, Farewell to the forests and wild hanging woods, Farewell to the torrent* and loud pouring floods. My hearty in the highlands, my heart is not here. My heart’s in the highlands, a-chas-ing the deer, Chasing the wild deer and following the roe— My heart’s in the highlands wherever I go. —Robert Burns.
