Lyrics
Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands
Wha hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl o' Moray
And laid him on the green
He was a braw callant
He played at the ball
The bonnie Earl o' Moray
Was the flirt among them all
And we be to ye huntin' play
And what for did ye say?
I bade ye bring him to me
But forbad ye him to slay
He was a braw callant
He played at the glove
The bonnie Earl o' Moray
He was the Queen's true love
Lang may his lady
Look frae the castle doon
Ere she sees the Earl o' Moray
Consumed in flithy toon
Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands
Wha hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl o' Moray
And laid him on the green
He was a braw callant
He played at the ring
The bonnie Earl o' Moray
He might hae been the king
Lang may his lady
Look frae the castle doon
Ere she sees the Earl o' Moray
Consumed in flithy toon
