Mormond Braes Lyrics

As I gaed down by Strichen town
I heard a fair maid mourning
She was making sair complaint
For her true love ne'er returning
Chorus:
Fare ye well ye Mormond Braes
Where oft times I've been cheery
Fare ye well ye Mormond Braes
Twas there I lost my dearie
Many's the horse has snappert and fa'n
And risen again full rarely

Many's the lass has lost her lad And gotten another right early
Chorus
There's as good fish in the sea
As ever yet was taken
I'll cast my line and try again
For I'm only since forsaken
Chorus
So I'll go down by Strichen town
Where I was bred and born in
There I'll get another sweetheart
Will marry me in the morning
Chorus
