It was the chorus lines posted for Carnwuth Mull that I found to be similar to Mormond Braes. WNATBA was said, I thought, to be based on Carnwuth Mull. It's chorus as posted above...
And its fare ye weel tae Carnwath Mull
and its fare ye weel ma dearie
o its fare ye weel tae Carnwath Mull
for its there that a lost ma dearie.
is almost identical to
So fare ye weel, ye Mormond Braes
Where aften I've been cheery
Fare ye weel ye Mormond Braes
For it's there I lost ma dearie.
