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 and he played at the ball
The bonnie Earl o' Moray was the floo'er amang them all

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

Lang may his lady
Look fae the castle Doune
'Ere she sees the Earl o' Moray
Cam' 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 and he played at the glove
The bonnie Earl o' Moray, he was the queen's true love

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