1
Four-and-twenty Highland men
2
Came from the Carron side
3
To steal away Eppie Morrie
4
'Cause she wouldn't be a bride, a bride
5
She wouldn't be a bride
6
Then out it's came her mother then
7
It was a moonlit night
8
She couldn't see her daughter
9
For the moon it shone so bright, so bright
10
The moon, it shone so bright
11
They've taken Eppie Morrie
12
And a horse they've bound her on
13
And they're away to Carron side
14
As fast as horse could gang, could gang
15
As fast as horse could gang
16
And Willie's taken his pistol out
17
And put it to the minister's breast
18
O, marry me, marry me, minister
19
Or else I'll be your priest, your priest
20
Or else I'll be your priest
21
Haud away from me, Willie
22
Haud away from me
23
There's not a man in all Strathdon
24
Shall wedded be by me, by me
25
Shall wedded be by me
26
Then mass was sung and bells were rung
27
And they're away to bed
28
And Willie and Eppie Morrie
29
In one bed they were laid, were laid
30
In one bed they were laid
31
He's taken the shirt from off his back
32
And kicked away his shoes
33
And thrown away the chamber key
34
And naked he lay down, lay down
35
And naked he lay down
36
He's kissed her on the lily breast
37
And held her shoulders twa
38
But aye she gat and aye she spat
39
And turned to the wa', the wa'
40
And turned to the wa'
41
They wrestled there all through the night
42
Before the break of day
43
But aye she gat and aye she spat
44
But he could not stretch her spey
45
He could not stretch her spey
46
Haud away from me, Willie,
47
Haud away from me
48
There's not a man in all Strathdon
49
Shall wedded be by me, by me
50
Shall wedded be by me
51
Then early in the morning
52
Before the light of day
53
In came the maid of Scallater
54
In gown and shirt alone, alone
55
In a gown and shirt alone
56
Get up, get up, young woman
57
And take a drink with me
58
You might have called me maiden
59
For I'm as whole as thee, as thee
60
For I'm as whole as thee
61
Then in there came young Breadalbane
62
With a pistol on his side
63
O, come away, Eppie Morrie
64
And I'll make you my bride, my bride
65
And I'll make you my bride
66
Go get to me a horse, Willie
67
Get it like a man
68
And send me back to my mother
69
A maiden as I came, I came
70
A maiden as I came
71
Haud away from me, Willie
72
Haud away from me
73
There's not a man in all Strathdon
74
Shall wedded be by me, by me
75
Shall wedded be with me (x2)
