My bonnie moorhen, my bonnie moorhen, Up in the grey hill, doon in the glen; It's when ye gang butt the house, when ye gang ben, Aye drink a health to my bonnie moorhen.
My bonnie moorhen's gane over the main And it will be simmer or she comes again; But when he comes back again some folk will ken, Joy be with thee, my bonnie moorhen.
My bonnie moorhen has feathers anew, She's a' fine colours, but nane o' them blue. She's red and she's white and she's green and she's grey, My bonnie moorhen, come hither away.
Come up by Glenduich and down by Glendee, And round by Kinclaven and hither to me; For Ronald and Donald are oot on the fen Tae break the wing of my bonnie moorhen.
