Bennachie Lyrics

[Chorus]
Gin I were whaur the gaudie rins
Whaur the gaudie rins, whaur the gaudie rins
Gin I were whaur the gaudie rins
At the back o' Bennachie

Oh I niver had but twa richt lads
Aye twa richt lads, twa richt bonnie lads
I niver had but twa richt lads
That dearly courted me

[Chorus]

And ane was killed at the laurin' fair
The laurin' fair, at the laurin' fair
Oh ane was killed at the laurin' fair
The ither was droont in the Dee

[Chorus]

And I gave to him the haunin' fine
The haunin' fine, the haunin' fine
Gave to him the haunin' fine
His mornin' dressed tae be

[Chorus]

Well, he gave to me the linen fine
The linen fine, the linen fine
Gave to me the linen fine
Me windin' sheet tae be

[Chorus]

Well, oh gin I were whaur the gaudie rins
Wi' the bonny broom an' the yellow whims
Gin I were whaur the gaudie rins
At the back o' Bennachie

Oh gin I were whaur the gaudie rins
Gin I were whaur the gaudie
At the back o' Bennachie

Aye, oh gin I were whaur the gaudie
Gin I were whaur the gaudie
At the back o' Bennachie
