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 o' Sutherland



To the ridges of the old Ben More

Ill bid a fond farewell

To Rosehall and to Bonar Bridge

I'll leave my heart with you

To the rolling bands o' the

Oykel and to Dornoch's gentle sands

I wish you well my comrades

there on the Braes of Sutherland



Farewell you roads to Spinningdale

this chapter now will close

To the ghosts that thay lie at

Carbisdale and the downfall of Montrose

To Ardgay and to Invershin, no

more I'll walk your sands

For I have to leave my

memories on the Braes of Sutherland



I now will leave my native

home for the shores of America

My love I leave behind me

now, I can no longer stay

The orders from the castle come

by the Duke's right hand

I fear that I must leave thee

there on the Braes of Sutherland
