Mormond Braes

C

[Verse]
C
Oh, as I cam' in by Strichen toon
                  F
One misty mornin' early
  C
I heard a lassie sair lament
        F
For her true love no returnin'

[Chorus]
C
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
                        F
Far aft times I've been cheery
C
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
F
There I lost my dearie

[Verse]
      C
Well, I'll pit on a goon o' green
                 F
It's ae forsaken token
    C
Tae tell the laddies 'roon aboot
         F
That the bonds o' love are broken

[Chorus]
C
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
                        F
Far aft times I've been cheery
C
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
F
There I lost my dearie

[Verse]
C
Mony's a horse tae snappert and fa'an
                    F
And risen again fu' rarely
C
Mony's a laddie's lost his love
    F
And gotten anither richt early

[Chorus]
C
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
                        F
Far aft times I've been cheery
C
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
F
There I lost my dearie

[Verse]
   C
So I'll gang back tae Strichen toon
                   F
Far I was bred and born in
C
I'll get me anither lad
     F
Will marry me aye in the morning

[Chorus]
C
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
                        F
Far aft times I've been cheery

Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
F
There I lost my dearie
