Mormond Braes lyrics

Chorus

Fare thee well, ye Mormon Braes,

for oft times A've been cheery.

Fare thee well, ye Mormon Braes,

for it's there A've lost ma dearie.

As A went in by Strachen Toon

A heard a fair maid mournin.

She was makin sair complaint

For her true love ne'er returnin.

chorus

Thar's mony a horse haes slipped an fell

And risen again richt early.

Thar's mony a lass has lost her lad

An got anither richt rarely.

chorus

Thar's as guid fish in tae the sea

As ever yet were taken.

A cast ma nets and try again,

For I am anely ance forsaken.

chorus

Sae A will put on my gown o green,

As A forsaken told him.

And we'll let the young lad know

that the bonds of love are broken.

chorus

Sae A'll gang back to Strachen Toon

Whaur A wis bred an born in,

An A will get another young lad

Tae marry me in the mornin.
