Braes of Sutherland

[Verse 1]
Farewell, ye braes of Sutherland
I'll ne'er see you no more
For I must take a stranger's path
And leave my native shore
My friends and my acquaintances
I'll give you now my hand
For I will ne'er be back again
On the Braes of Sutherland

[Verse 2]
To the ridges of the old Ben More
I bid a fond adieu
To Rosehall and to Bonar Bridge
I leave my heart with you
To the rolling banks of the Oykel
And to Dornoch's gentle sands
I wish you well, my comrades there
On the Braes of Sutherland

[Verse 3]
Farewell, you roads to Spinningdale
This chapter now will close
To the ghosts that lie at Carbisdale
And the downfall o Montrose
Tae Ardgay and tae Invershin
No more I'll walk your sands
For I have to leave my memories
On the Braes of Sutherland

[Verse 4]
I now will leave my native home
For the shores of Americae
My love I leave behind me now
I can no longer stay
The orders from the castle came
And by the Duke's right hand
I fear that I must leave thee there
On the Braes of Sutherland
