Music: Frederick Loewe
Lyrics: Alan Jay Lerner
Book: Alan Jay Lerner
Premiere: Thursday, March 13, 1947


CHORUS:
Once in the Highlands, the Highlands of Scotland,
Deep in the night on a murky brae;
There in the Highlands, the Highlands of Scotland,
Two weary hunters lost their way.

TENOR:
And this is what happened,
The strange thing that happened,

CHORUS:
to two weary hunters who lost their way.
