This is a live version from Dylan unsure where this was recorded https://youtu.be/MqTkfQtrr5o
Bob wanders a bit away from the original lyrics in the 1997 Time Out of Mind album
The recording is blurry in places but it's a simple blues in G using mainly 7th chords and
he is accompanied to his right by a ukulele playing riffs in G
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well my hearts in the Highlands gentle and fair
Honeysuckle blooming in the wildwood air
Bluebells blazing where the Aberdeen waters flow
Well my heart's in The Highlands I'm gonna go there when I feel good enough to go
[Verse 2]
Windows were shaking all night in my dreams
Everything was exactly the way that it seems
Woke up this mornin' and I looked at the same old page
Same old rat race life in the same old cage
[Verse 3]
I don't want nothin' from anyone ain't that much to take
Wouldn't know the difference between a real blonde and a fake
Feel like a prisoner in a world of mystery
I wish someone'd come and push back the clock for me
[Verse 4]
Well my heart's in The Highlands wherever I roam
That's where I'll be when I get called home
The wind it whispers to the buckeye trees of rhyme
Well my heart's in The Highlands I can only get there one step at a time
[Verse 5]
I'm listening to Neil Young I gotta turn up the sound
Someone's always yellin' "Turn it down"
Feel like I'm driftin' driftin' from scene to scene
I'm wonderin' what in the devil could it all possibly mean
[Verse 6]
Insanity is smashin' up against my soul
You could say I was on anything but a roll
If I had a conscience well I just might blow my top
What would I do with it anyway take it to the pawn shop?
[Verse 7]
My heart's in The Highlands at the break of dawn
By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan
Big white clouds like chariots that swing down low
Well my heart's in The Highlands only place left to go
[Verse 8]
I'm in Boston town in some restaurant
I got no idea what I want
Or maybe I do but I'm just really too sure
Waitress comes over nobody in the place but me and her
[Verse 9]
Well it must be a holiday there's nobody around
She studies me closely as I sit down
She got a pretty face and long white shiny legs
I said "Tell me whats good today" She proudly say "You probably want hard boiled eggs"
[Verse 10]
I said "That's right bring me some"
She says "We ain't got any you picked the wrong time to come"
Then she says "I know you're an artist draw a picture of me"
I said "I would if I could but I don't do sketches from memory"
[Verse 11]
Well she's there she says "I'm right here in front of you or haven't you looked?"
I say "All right I know but I don't have my drawin' book"
She throws me a napkin she say "You can do it on that"
I say "Yes I would if I could but I don't know where my pencil is at"
[Verse 12]
She pulls one out from behind her ear
She says "OK go ahead draw me I'm stayin' right here"
I make a few lines and I show it for her to see
Well she takes the napkin and throws it back and says "That don't look a thing like me"
[Verse 13]
I said "Oh kind miss it most certainly does"
She say "You must be joking" I said "I wish I was"
She says "I know you don't read women authors do ya?" At least that's what I think I hear her say
Well I say "How would you know and what would it matter anyway?"
[Verse 14]
Well she says "Ya just don't seem like ya do" I said "You're way wrong"
She says "Which ones have you read then?" I say "Read Erica Jong"
She goes away for a minute and I slide out out of my chair
I head back out to the busy street but nobody's goin' anywhere
[Verse 15]
Well my heart's in The Highlands with the horses and hounds
Way up in the border country far from the towns
With the twang of the arrow and the snap of the bow
My heart's in The Highlands can't go no any other place that I wanna go
[Verse 16]
Every day is the same thing out the door
Try to repair what went wrong the day before
Some things in life it just gets too late to learn
Well I'm lost somewhere I must have made a few bad turns
[Instrumental]
G7 x4
C7 x2
G7 x2
[Verse 17]
I see people in the park forgettin' their troubles and woes
They're drinkin' and dancin' wearin' bright colored clothes
All the young men with the young women lookin' so good
Well I' trade places with any of ' in minute only if I could
[Verse 18]
I'm crossin' the street to get away from a mangy dog
Talkin' to myself in a monologue
I think what I might need full-length leather coat
Somebody just asked me if I'm registered to vote
[Verse 19]
Well my heart's in The Highlands at the break of day
Over the hills and far away
There's a way to get there and I'll figure it out somehow
Well I'm already there in my mind and that's good enough for now....fade out
Love and peace
Kevin
