I Have Seen The Highlands

I was born and raised in Glasgow

In a Gallowgate tenement

And when people spoke of my bonnie land

I didn't know what they meant

But then I took to travel

I made far and wide

And now when I speak of my native land

I speak with love and pride

For I have seen the highland

I have seen the low

And I will brag of my native land

Wherever I may go

Oh, nature took a tumble

Many's the day gone by

To add to all of her wondrous work

She thought she'd have a try

She toiled and she thundered

She rumbled and she roared

She made the Highlands of Scotland

Then she threw away the mould

For I have seen the highland

I have seen the low

And I will brag of my native land

Wherever I may go

Go rambling up by Oban

Strolling down by Perth

On the rugged hills of Inverkeithing

You'll see the sweetest place on earth

Go gaze upon the Cuillins

See the Lomond in the mist

On the lovely Island of Mull

Hear the songbird at its best

For I have seen the highland

I have seen the low

And I will brag of my native land

Wherever I may go

The Irish and the English

The African and Turk

In a world of joy and of harmony

Together we must work

On the shores of foreign brothers

We'll lay no robbers hand

And all I ask is to toil and live

In our own native land

For I have seen the highland

I have seen the low

And I will brag of my native land

Wherever I may go

For I have seen the highland

I have seen the low

And I will brag of my native land

Wherever I may go
