my heart's in the hignds

tune—“failte na miosg.”

farewell to the hignds, farewell to the north,

the birth-ce of valour, the country of worth;

wherever i wander, wherever i rove,

the hills of the hignds for ever i love.

chorus.—my heart's in the hignds, my heart is not here,

my heart's in the hignds, a-chasing the deer;
