Mormond Braes

Fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes

Melody

Traditional

As I get doon by Strichen toon
I heard a fair maid mournin'
She was makin' sair complaint
For her true love ne'er returnin'

Chorus
So fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes,
Where oft times I been cheery
Fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes
For it's there I lost my dearie.

2. There's as guid fish intae the sea
As ever yet was taken
So I'll cast my net an' try again
For I'm only once forsaken.
Chorus

3. There's many a horse has snappert
An' fa'n and risen again fu' rarely
There's many a lass has lost her lad
An' gotten another right early.
Chorus

4. So I'll put on my goon o' green,
It's a forsaken token
An' that will let the young lads know
That the bonds of love are broken.
Chorus

5. So I'll gang back to Strichen toon,
Where I was bred an' born in
And there I'll get another fine girl,
To marry me in the mornin'.
Chorus
