Mormond Braes Chorus Fare thee well, ye Mormon Braes, where oft times I've been cheery. Fare thee well, ye Mormon Braes, For it's there I've lost my dearie. As I went in by Strachen Toon I heard a fair maid mournin. She was makin sair complaint For her true love ne'er returnin. Chorus Thar's mony a horse haes slipped an fell And risen again richt early. Thar's mony a lass has lost her lad An got anither richt rarely. chorus Thar's as guid fish in tae the sea As ever yet were taken. A cast ma nets and try again, For I am anely ance forsaken. chorus Sae A will put on my gown o green, As A forsaken told him. And we'll let the young lad know that the bonds of love are broken. chorus Sae A'll gang back to Strachen Toon Whaur A wis bred an born in, An A will get another young lad Tae marry me in the mornin.
