Mormond Braes / Charles Sutherland
[Verse 1]
Oh, as I cam in by Strichen toun
One misty mornin early
Heard a lassie sair lament
For her true love no returnin
[Chorus]
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
Far aft times I've been cheery
Fare ye well, ye Mormond Braes
Thare I lost my dearie
[Verse 2]
Well, I'll pit on a goun o green
It's ae forsaken token
Tae tell the laddies roon' aboot
That the bonds o love are broken
[Chorus]
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
Far aft times I've been cheery
Fare ye well, ye Mormond Braes
Thare I lost my dearie
[Verse 3]
Nou, mony's a horse haes snappert and fawen
And risen again fou rarely
Mony's a laddie's lost his love
And gotten anither richt early
[Chorus]
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
Far aft times I've been cheery
Fare ye well, ye Mormond Braes
Thare I lost my dearie
[Verse 4]
So I'll gang back tae Strichen toun
Far I wis bred and born in
I'll get me anither lad
Wha'll mairy me aye in the mornin
[Chorus]
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
Far aft times I've been cheery
Fare ye well, ye Mormond Braes
Thare I lost my dearie
[Instrumental: "Charles Sutherland"]
[Verse 5]
As I cam in by Strichen toun
One misty mornin early
Heard a lassie sair lament
For her true love no returnin
[Chorus]
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
Far aft times I've been cheery
Fare ye well, ye Mormond Braes
Thare I lost my dearie
