And fare thee weel, my only luve!
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile!
AULD LANG SYNE
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness
yet,
For auld lang syne!
And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I’ll be mine;
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness
yet
For auld lang syne!
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d monie a
weary fit
Sin’ auld lang syne.
We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin’ auld lang syne.
And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie’s a hand o’ thine;
And we’ll tak a right guid-willie
waught,
For auld lang syne!
SWEET AFTON
Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green
braes!
Flow gently, I’ll sing thee a song
in thy praise!
My Mary’s asleep by thy murmuring
stream,
Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not
her dream!
Thou stock-dove, whose echo resounds through
the glen,
Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny
den,
Thou green-crested lapwing, thy screaming
forbear,
I charge you disturb not my slumbering
fair!
How lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighbouring
hills,
Far marked with the courses of clear winding
rills!
There daily I wander as noon rises high,
My flocks and my Mary’s sweet cot
in my eye.
How pleasant thy banks and green valleys
below,
Where wild in the woodlands the primroses
blow!
There oft, as mild evening weeps over
the lea,
The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary
and me.
Thy crystal stream, Afton, how lovely
it glides,
And winds by the cot where my Mary resides!
How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave,
As gathering sweet flowerets she stems
thy clear wave!
Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green
braes!
Flow gently, sweet river, the theme of
my lays!
My Mary’s asleep by thy murmuring
stream,
Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not
her dream!
THE HAPPY TRIO
O, Willie brew’d a peck o’
maut,
And Bob and Allan cam to see;
Three blyther hearts, that lee-lang night,
Ye wad na found in Christendie.
Chorus:
We are na fou, we’re nae that fou,
But just a drappie in our e’e;
The cock may craw, the day may daw,
And ay we’ll taste the barley bree!
Here are we met, three merry boys,
Three merry boys, I trow, are we;
And mony a night we’ve merry been,
And mony mae we hope to be!
