Lyrics
Fare thee well, ye Mormon braes
For 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 Strichen Toon
I heard a fair maid mourning
She was making sair complaint
For her true love ne'er returning
Fare thee well, ye Mormon braes
For oft times I've been cheery
Fare thee well, ye Mormon braes
For it's there I've lost my dearie
There's many a horse has slipped and fell
And risen again right early
There's many a lass has lost her lad
And got another right rarely
Fare thee well, ye Mormon braes
For oft times I've been cheery
Fare thee well, ye Mormon braes
For it's there I've lost my dearie
There's as good fish in tae the sea
As ever yet were taken
I'll cast my nets and try again
For I'm only once forsaken
Fare thee well, ye Mormon braes
For oft times I've been cheery
Fare thee well, ye Mormon braes
For it's there I've lost my dearie
So I'll put on my gown of green
It's a forsaken token
And that will let the young lads know
That the bonds of love are broken
Fare thee well, ye Mormon braes
For oft times I've been cheery
Fare thee well, ye Mormon braes
For it's there I've lost my dearie
So I'll gang back to Strichen Toon
Where I was bred and born in
And I will get another young lass
To marry me in the mornin'
Fare thee well, ye Mormon braes
For oft times I've been cheery
Fare thee well, ye Mormon braes
For it's there I've lost my dearie
