Mormond Braes

Oh, as I get doon by Strichen Toon, one misty mornin' early
Heard a lassie sair lament for her true love ne'er returnin'

Fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes, where oft times I been cheery
Fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes, there I lost my dearie

Well I'll put on my goon o' green, it's a forsaken token
To tell the laddies roundabout that the bonds of love are broken

Fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes, where oft times I been cheery
Fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes, there I lost my dearie

There's many a horse has snappert an' fa'n and risen again fu' rarely
There's many a laddies that's lost 'is love an' gotten another right early

Fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes, where oft times I been cheery
Fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes, there I lost my dearie

So I'll gang back to Strichen toon, where I was bred an' born in
I'll get me another lad, who'll marry me high in the mornin'

Fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes, where oft times I been cheery
Fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes, there I lost my dearie

Oh, as I get doon by Strichen Toon, one misty mornin' early
Heard a lassie sair lament for her true love ne'er returnin'

Fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes, where oft times I been cheery
Fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes, there I lost my dearie
