Songtext von Mormond Braes

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' 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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' 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
