Mormond Braes

ChorusFare 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 ToonA heard a fair maid mournin.She was makin sair complaintFor her true love ne'er returnin.

chorus

Thar's mony a horse haes slipped an fellAnd risen again richt early.Thar's mony a lass has lost her ladAn got anither richt rarely.

chorus

Thar's as guid fish in tae the seaAs 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 knowthat the bonds of love are broken.

chorus

Sae A'll gang back to Strachen ToonWhaur A wis bred an born in,An A will get another young ladTae marry me in the mornin.

Mormond Hills

Farewell to you, you Mormon Hills,For often there were times I have been happy.Farewell to you, you Mormon Hills,For it is there I have lost my sweetheart.

As I went into Strichen town,I heard a lovely maiden (in) mourning.She was making sorrowful statements,About her true love never returning.

Farewell to you, you Mormon Hills,For often there were times I have been happy.Farewell to you, you Mormon Hills,For it is there I have lost my sweetheart.

There have been many horses that slipped and fell,And they arose again very quickly.There is many a maiden (who) has lost her manAnd found another very rarely.

Farewell to you, you Mormon Hills,For often there were times I have been happy.Farewell to you, you Mormon Hills,For it is there I have lost my sweetheart.

There is as good a fish beneath the seaAs ever has been (caught) taken.I cast my nets and (will) try again,For I am only once abandoned.

Farewell to you, you Mormon Hills,For often there were times I have been happy.Farewell to you, you Mormon Hills,For it is there I have lost my sweetheart.

So I will put on my gown of green,As I being abandoned told him.And we will let the young man know,That the bonds of love are broken.

Farewell to you, you Mormon Hills,For often there were times I have been happy.Farewell to you, you Mormon Hills,For it is there I have lost my sweetheart.

So I will go back to Strichen town,Where I was brought up and born in,And I will get another young man,To marry me in the morning.
