The Bonnie Earl Of Moray

Ye Hielan's an' ye Lowlan's 
O, where have ye been? 
They hae slain the Earl of Moray 
And lain him on the green. 
He was a braw gallant 
And he rode at the ring. 
An' the bonnie Earl of Moray 
O, he micht hae been the king! 
O, lang may his lady 
Look frae the castle Doune, 
Ere she see the Earl of Moray 
Come soundin' through the toun.

Now way be to thee, Huntly 
And wherefore did ye sae? 
I bade you bring him wi' you 
But forbade you him to slay. 
He was a braw gallant 
And he play'd at the ball 
An' the Bonnie Earl of Moray 
Was a flower among them all. 
Lang may his lady 
Look from the Castle Doune, 
Ere she see the Earl of Moray 
Come soundin' through the toun.

Ye Hielan's and ye Lowlan's 
O where hae ye been? 
They have slain the Earl of Moray 
An' laid him on the green. 
He was a braw gallant 
And he rode at the gluve 
An' the Bonnie Earl of Moray 
O, he was the Queens' true love. 
Lang will his lady 
Look frae the Castle Doune, 
Ere she see the Earl of Moray 
Come soundin' through the toun.
