    My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here;My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;A-chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,My heart's in the Highlands wherever I go.

    Dear Sir, I'll gie ye some advice,You'll tak it no uncivil:You shouldna paint at angels, man,But try and paint the Devil.To paint an angel's kittle wark,Wi' Nick there's little danger;You'll easy draw a lang-kent face,But no sae weel a stranger.
