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.
