Lyrics:

Ye Heilan's and ye lowlands, whaur hae ye been?
Ye hae slain the Earl o' Moray and laid him on the green
He was a braw gallant, he played at the ball
The bonnie Earl o' Moray was the floo'er amang them all

And woe betide ye, Huntly, wherefore were ye, Tay
I bad ye bring him tae ma, forbad ye him tae slay
He was a braw gallant, he played at the ring
The bonnie Earl o' Moray micht hae been the king

Lang may his lady
Look fae the castle Doune
'Ere she sees the Earl o' Moray
Gang soondin' through the toon

Ye Heilan's and ye lowlands, whaur hae ye been?
Ye hae slain the Earl o' Moray and laid him on the green
He was a braw gallant, he played at the glove
The bonnie Earl o' Moray, he was the queen's true love
