Eppie Morrie
Four-an'-twenty Hielan' men
Came frae the Carrie Side
Tae steal awa' Eppie Morrie
For she wadnae be a bride, a bride,
She wadnae be a bride.
Oot it's came her mither then,
It wis a moonlit nicht,
She couldnae see her dochter,
Their swords they shone sae bricht, sae bricht,
Their swords they shone sae bricht.
They hae ta'en Eppie Morrie then,
An' horse back boun' her on
An' then awa' rae the Minister,
As fast as horse can gang, can gang,
As fast as horse can gang.
Willie's drawn oot his pistol then,
An' set it tae the Minister's breast,
Marry me, marry me, Minister,
Or else A'll be yer priest, yer priest,
Else A'll be yer priest.
