Eppie Morrie Chords & Lyrics - Karan Casey

[VERSE]
[Am]Four and twenty Highland men
Came [G]from the Carron side
To [Am]steal away Eppie [Em]Morrie 'cause
She [Am]wouldn't be a bride, a bride
Wouldn't [Em]be a [Am]bride

[VERSE]
[Am]Out it came her mother then
It [G]was a moonlit night
She [Am]couldn't see her [Em]daughter for
The [Am]moon, it shone so bright, so bright
The moon, it [Em]shone so [Am]bright

[VERSE]
[Am]They've taken Eppie Morrie
And a [G]horse they've bound her on
And [Am]they're away to [Em]Carron side
As [Am]fast as horse could gang, could gang
Fast as [Em]horse could [Am]gang

[VERSE]
[Am]And Willie's taken his pistol out
And [G]put it to the minister's breast
Oh, [Am]marry me, marry [Em]me, minister
Or [Am]else I'll be your priest, your priest
Else I'll [Em]be your [Am]priest

[CHORUS]
[C]Haud away from me, Willie
[G]Haud away from me
There's [Am]not a man in [Em]all Strathdon
[Am]Wedded be by me, by me
[Am]Wedded be by me

[VERSE]
[Am]Then mass was sung and bells were rung
And [G]they're away to bed
And [Am]Willie and Eppie [Em]Morrie
Oh, in [Am]one bed they were laid, were laid
One bed [Em]they were [Am]laid

[VERSE]
[Am]He's taken the shirt from off his back
And [G]kicked away his shoes
And [Am]thrown away the [Em]chamber key
And [Am]naked he lay down, lay down
Naked [Em]he lay [Am]down

[VERSE]
[Am]He kissed her on the lily breast
And [G]held her shoulders twa
But [Am]aye, she gat and [Em]aye, she spat
And [Am]turned to the wa', the wa'
Turned [Em]to the [Am]wa'

[VERSE]
[Am]They wrestled there all through the night
Be[G]fore the break of day
But [Am]aye, she gat and [Em]aye, she spat
And [Am]he could not stretch her spey
Could not [Em]stretch her [Am]spey

[CHORUS]
[C]Haud away from me, Willie
[G]Haud away from me
There's [Am]not a man in [Em]all Strathdon
[Am]Wedded be by me, by me
[Am]Wedded be by me

[VERSE]
[Am]Early in the morning
Be[G]fore the light of day
In [Am]came the maid of [Em]Scallater
In [Am]gown and shirt alone, alone
Gown and [Em]shirt a[Am]lone

[VERSE]
[Am]Get up, get up, young woman
And [G]take a drink with me
You [Am]might have called me a [Em]maiden
I'm as [Am]whole as thee, as thee
I'm as [Em]whole as [Am]thee

[VERSE]
[Am]Then came young Breadalbane
With a [G]pistol on his side
Oh, [Am]come away, Eppie [Em]Morrie
And I'll [Am]make you my bride, my bride
Make [Em]you my [Am]bride

[VERSE]
[Am]Go get me a horse, Willie
And [G]get it like a man
And [Am]send me back to [Em]my mother
A [Am]maiden as I came, I came
A maiden [Em]as I [Am]came

[CHORUS]
[C]Haud away from me, Willie
[G]Haud away from me
There's [Am]not a man in [Em]all Strathdon
[Am]Wedded be by me, by me
[Am]Wedded be by me

[CHORUS]
[C]Haud away from me, Willie
[G]Haud away from me
There's [Am]not a man in [Em]all Strathdon
[Am]Wedded be by me, by me

[Am]Wedded be by me, by me
[Am]Wedded be by me
