Come with me and sit a while
We'll leave this place and our sighs
We'll find the heather's purple glow
To the Highlands we will go
A cottage with a garden seat
There my love we will greet
The evening purple heather glow
To the Highlands we will go
The stormy gales within us now
Will have to find softer fields to plow
We'll find the heather's purple glow
To the Highlands we will go
Hir-ree hir-ree ho, hir-ree ho
Hir-ree hir-ree ho ho
Hir-ree hir-ree ho, hir-ree ho
Hir-ree hir-ree ho ho
Dancing through the running fields
There my love, we will yield
To the flowing purple heather glow
To the Highlands we will go
Hir-ree hir-ree ho, hir-ree ho
Hir-ree hir-ree ho ho
Hir-ree hir-ree ho, hir-ree ho
Hir-ree hir-ree ho ho
Life will leave us there to love
The rambling springs and sky above
We'll find the heather's purple glow
To the Highlands we will go
We will go
