My hearts in the Highlands,
Tune, Failte na miofg.
Farewell to the mountains high cover'd with fnow;
Farewell to the ftraths and green vallies below:
Farewell to the forefts and wild hanging woods;
Farewell to the torrents and loud pouring floods.
My. hearts in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart s in the Highlands a, chafing the deer:
Chafing the wild deer, and following the roe;
My heart s in the Highlands, wherever T go.

Volumes 1-6 - Scots musical museum
DescriptionBy James Johnson. 6 volumes. Edinburgh : Printed & sold by Johnson & Co., 1787-1803. Burns contributed largely to the work, and Stephen Clarke prepared the arrangements of most of the airs. ["The volumes of the Musical museum, as originally published, were 'Humbly dedicated to the Catch Club, instituted at Edinburgh June 1771.' On the completion of the sixth and last volume, in 1803, Johnson substituted a new set of title-pages, dedicating the work 'To the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.'"--Laing's pref., to 1839 ed., v. 1, p. ii, foot-note].
