Isles of The West
where my thoughts fly to rest,
as I dream of the land
I was born in.
Just let my eyes
see the blue Highland skies,
and the peat smoke
arise in the mornin'

Misty Islands of The Highlands,
That's where this heart of mine
for ever longs to be.
Misty islands of the highlands
Homeland of mem'ries
where the heather meets the sea.
White crofters cabin
that beckons from the glen,
Sweet voice that's singing:
"Will ye no come back again?"
Misty islands in the highlands
that's where this heart of mine
for ever longs to be.

Misty Islands of The Highlands,
That's where this heart of mine
for ever longs to be.
Misty islands of the highlands
Homeland of mem'ries
where the heather meets the sea.
White crofters cabin
that beckons from the glen,
Sweet voice that's singing:
"Will ye no come back again?"
Misty islands in the highlands
that's where this heart of mine
for ever longs to be.

Years pass me by
like the cloud in the sky,
and I pine
for the sweet purple heather.
I'm dreaming still
of a path o'er the hill,
where my true love
and I walked together.

Misty Islands of The Highlands,
That's where this heart of mine
for ever longs to be.
Misty islands of the highlands
Homeland of mem'ries
where the heather meets the sea.
White crofters cabin
that beckons from the glen,
Sweet voice that's singing:
"Will ye no come back again?"
Misty islands in the highlands
that's where this heart of mine
for ever longs to be.

Misty Islands of The Highlands,
That's where this heart of mine
for ever longs to be.
Misty islands of the highlands
Homeland of mem'ries
where the heather meets the sea.
White crofters cabin
that beckons from the glen,
Sweet voice that's singing:
"Will ye no come back again?"
Misty islands in the highlands
that's where this heart of mine
for ever longs to be.
