[Verse]

My bonny moorhen, my bonny moorhen
Eb                    Bb
Up in the grey hills, doon in the glen
Eb           Cm              Eb           Cm
When ye gang butt the house, when ye gang ben
            Eb           F         Cm
For drink a health to my bonny moorhen

[Verse]
                        Eb
My bonny moorhen's gane over the main
    Bb                     F
And it will be summer when he comes again
    Cm                        Eb             Cm
But when he comes back again, some folk will ken
           Eb           F         Cm
For joy be with you, my bonny moorhen

[Verse]

My bonny moorhen has feathers anew
Eb                                 Bb
They're all fine colours, but nane o' them blue
Eb                Cm             Eb             Cm
He's red and he's white and he's green and he's grey
             Eb        F       Cm
My bonny moorhen, come hither away

[Verse]
                         Eb
Come up by Glenouicm and doon by Glenmore
Bb                     F
Round by Kinclaven and hither tae me
    Cm                    Eb         Cm
For Ronald and Donald are oot on the fen
              Eb         F         Cm
Tae break the wing of my bonny moorhen
