 The Bonny Earl of Moray 
 
O, ye Hielans an' ye Lowlans  
O, where ha'e ye been? 
They ha'e slain the Earl of Moray  
And laid him on the green.  
He was a braw and gallant 
And he rade at the ring. 
An' the bonnie Earl of Moray 
O, he might hae been the king! 
O, woe betide thee, Huntly  
And wherefore did ye say? 
For I bade you bring him ta me 
And forbade you him to slay. 
For he was a braw and gallant  
And he played at the ball 
An' the Bonnie Earl of Moray  
Was a flower among them all. 
Bridge: 
Long may his lady 
Look from the Castle Doune, 
Ere she see her Earl of Moray 
Come soundin' through the toun. 
For he was braw and gallant 
An he played at the glove 
And the bonnie Earl o Moray 
He was the Queen's true love 
O, ye Hielan's an' ye Lowlan's  
O, where ha'e ye been? 
They ha'e slain the Earl of Moray  
And laid him on the green.  
And laid him on the green. 
And laid him on the green. 
The Bonnie Earl of Moray is traditional/annonymous.
