[Verse]

Four and twenty Highland men

Came from the Carron side

Am Em

To steal away Eppie Morrie 'cause

She wouldn't be a bride, a bride

Em Am

Wouldn't be a bride

[Verse]

Out it came her mother then

It was a moonlit night

Am Em

She couldn't see her daughter for

The moon, it shone so bright, so bright

Em Am

The moon, it shone so bright

[Verse]

They've taken Eppie Morrie

And a horse they've bound her on

Am Em

And they're away to Carron side

As fast as horse could gang, could gang

Em Am

Fast as horse could gang

[Verse]

And Willie's taken his pistol out

And put it to the minister's breast

Am Em

Oh, marry me, marry me, minister

Or else I'll be your priest, your priest

Em Am

Else I'll be your priest

[Chorus]

Haud away from me, Willie

Haud away from me

There's not a man in all Strathdon

Wedded be by me, by me

Then mass was sung and bells were rung

And they're away to bed

And Willie and Eppie Morrie

Oh, in one bed they were laid, were laid

He's taken the shirt from off his back

And kicked away his shoes

Am Em

And thrown away the chamber key

And naked he lay down, lay down

Em Am

Naked he lay down

[Verse]

He kissed her on the lily breast

And held her shoulders twa

Am Em

But aye, she gat and aye, she spat

And turned to the wa', the wa'

Em Am

Turned to the wa'

[Verse]

They wrestled there all through the night

Before the break of day

Am Em

But aye, she gat and aye, she spat

And he could not stretch her spey

Em Am

Could not stretch her spey

[Chorus]

Haud away from me, Willie

Haud away from me

Am Em

There's not a man in all Strathdon

Wedded be by me, by me

Wedded be by me

Early in the morning

Before the light of day

Am Em

In came the maid of Scallater

In gown and shirt alone, alone

Get up, get up, young woman

And take a drink with me

Am Em

You might have called me a maiden

I'm as whole as thee, as thee

Em Am

I'm as whole as thee

[Verse]

Then came young Breadalbane

With a pistol on his side

Am Em

Oh, come away, Eppie Morrie

And I'll make you my bride, my bride

Go get me a horse, Willie

And get it like a man

And send me back to my mother

A maiden as I came, I came

Haud away from me, Willie

Haud away from me

Am Em

There's not a man in all Strathdon

Wedded be by me, by me
