Wolfstone - Braes of Sutherland lyrics

Farewell you braes o' Sutherland, I'll ne'er see you no more For I must take a strangers 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, I bid a fond adieu To Rosehall and to Bonar Bridge, I leave my heart with you To the rolling banks 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 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 came And by the Duke's right hand I fear that I must leave thee there On the Braes of Sutherland
