Lady Mondegreen

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.
