Bonnie Earl Songtext

von Old Blind Dogs

Ye Heilan's and ye lowlands, whaur hae ye been?
Ye hae slain the Earl o' Moray and laid him on the green.
He was a braw gallant, and he played at the ball.
The bonnie Earl o' Moray was the floo'er amang them all.

And woe betide ye, Huntley, wherefore were ye, Tay?
I bad ye bring him tae me, and forbad ye him tae slay
He was a braw gallant, and he played at the ring
The bonnie Earl o' Moray, he might hae been the king.

Lang may his lady, look fae the castle Doune.
Ere she sees the Earl o' Moray, gang soondin' through the toon.

Ye Heilan's and ye lowlands, whaur hae ye been?
Ye hae slain the Earl o' Moray and laid him on the green.
He was a braw gallant, and he played at the glove.
The bonnie Earl o' Moray, he was the queen's true love.

Lang may his lady, look fae the castle Doune.
Ere she sees the Earl o' Moray, gang soondin' through the toon.
