Lyrics:
Oh as I cam' in by Strichen toon
One misty mornin' early
I heard a lassie sair lament
For her true love no returnin'
Chorus (after each verse):
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
Far aft times I've been cheery
Fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
There I lost my dearie
Well, I'll pit on a goon o' green
It's ae forsaken token
Tae tell the laddies 'roon aboot
That the bonds o' love are broken
Mony's a horse tae snappert and fa'an
And risen again fu' rarely
Mony's a laddie's lost his love
And gotten anither richt early
So I'll gang back tae Strichen toon
Far I was bred and born in
I'll get me anither lad
Will marry me aye in the morning
As I cam' in by Strichen toon
One misty mornin' early
I heard a lassie sair lament
For her true love no returnin'
