Mormond Braes

Lyrics

[Chorus] Fare thee well, ye Mormond Braes For oft times I've been cheery Fare thee well, ye Mormond Braes For it's there I lost my dearie [Verse 1] As I went in by Strichen Toon I heard a fair maid mourning She was makin' sair complaint For her true love ne'er returning [Chorus] Fare thee well, ye Mormond Braes For oft times I've been cheery Fare thee well, ye Mormond Braes For it's there I lost my dearie [Verse 2] There's many a horse has sipped an' fell An' risen again right early There's many a lass has lost her lad And got another right rarely [Chorus] Fare thee well, ye Mormond Braes For oft times I've been cheery Fare thee well, ye Mormond Braes For it's there I lost my dearie [Verse 3] There's as good fish in tae the sea As ever yet were taken I'll cast ma nets and try again For I'm only once forsaken [Chorus] Fare thee well, ye Mormond Braes For oft times I've been cheery Fare thee well, ye Mormond Braes For it's there I lost my dearie [Verse 4] So I'll put on my gown of green It's a forsaken token And that will let the young lads know That the bonds of love are broken [Chorus] Fare thee well, ye Mormond Braes For oft times I've been cheery Fare thee well, ye Mormond Braes For it's there I lost my dearie [Verse 5] So I'll gang back to Strichen toon Where I was bred and born in And I will get another young lass Tae marry me in the mornin' [Chorus] Fare thee well, ye Mormond Braes For oft times I've been cheery Fare thee well, ye Mormond Braes For it's there I lost my dearie
