Mormond Braes

Oh as I cam' in by Strichen toon

One misty mornin' early

I heard a lassie sair lament

For her true love no returnin'

Chorus (after each verse):

Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes

Far aft times I've been cheery

Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes

There I lost my dearie

Well, I'll pit on a goon o' green

It's ae forsaken token

Tae tell the laddies 'roon aboot

That the bonds o' love are broken

Mony's a horse tae snappert and fa'an

And risen again fu' rarely

Mony's a laddie's lost his love

And gotten anither richt early

So I'll gang back tae Strichen toon

Far I was bred and born in

I'll get me anither lad

Will marry me aye in the morning

As I cam' in by Strichen toon

One misty mornin' early

I heard a lassie sair lament

For her true love no returnin'
