I was born and raised in Glasgow, in a Gallowgate tenement
And when people spoke of my bonny 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 Highlands
I have seen the low
And I will brag of my native land
Wherever I my go
Oh, Nature took a tumble, many's the days gone by
To out-do 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 Highlands
I have seen the low
And I will brag of my native land
Wherever I my go
Go rambling up by Oban, strolling down by Perth
On the rugged hills of Argyll shall see, the sweetest place on Earth
Go gaze upon the Cuillins, see the Lomond in the mist
On the lovely islandS of Mulla, hear the songbird at its best
For I have seen the Highlands
I have seen the low
And I will brag of my native land
Wherever I my 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 robber's hand
And all we ask is to toil and live in our own native land
For I have seen the Highlands
I have seen the low
And I will brag of my native land
Wherever I my go
For I have seen the Highlands
I have seen the low
And I will brag of my native land
Wherever I my go
