Lyrics 

So have you ever been up in the Highland hills when the sun was shining down 
On lofty Bens and silent Glens a hundred miles from town 
If you tell me no, then I must tell you go, those Highland hills to see 
My goodness me, the sights you'll see, up in that Bonnie Country. 
                                  That's Bonnie Country 

Where eagles fly up in the sky and lonely waters flow 
Lies beauty rare beyond compare, and that`s where you should go 
For there you'll stand in my homeland, more scenic you won't see 
My goodness me, wait 'til you see, you'll be in Bonnie Country 

When we were young, the cuckoo sang, the only song she knew 
We used to hear her in the hills round Gairloch and Loch Ewe 
Then she'd be gone, but her sweet song would linger hauntingly 
On lofty Bens and in the Glens up in that Bonnie Country 

Well then one day shores far away lured me and I gave in 
I left the Bens and silent Glens, my homeland and my kin 
As time went bye, sometimes I'd sigh, for scenes that used to be 
My goodness me, in memory, I roamed my Bonnie Country 

So when you land up in the Highland hills and the sun is shining down 
On lofty Bens and silent Glens a hundred miles from town 
I know you`ll smile through every mile and perhaps remember me 
My goodness me, I'd like to be, back in that Bonnie Country 
My goodness me, I'd like to be, back in that Bonnie Country. 
                              That's Bonnie Country
                              That's Bonnie Country
