Up an Waun Them a' Jamie (
Robert Burns)
The Laddies by the banks o Nith Wad trust his Grace wi a' Jamie;
But he'll sair them, as he sair'd the King- Turn tail and rin awa, Jamie.ch. Up and waun them a'
Jamie, Up and waun them a'! The Johnstones hae the guidin o't: Ye turncoat Whigs, awa!
The day he stude his eountry's friend, Or gied her faes a claw, Jamie,
Or frae puir man a blessin wan- That day the Duke ne'er saw, Jamie.
But wha is he, his country's boast? Like him there is na twa, Jamie!
There's no a callant tents the kye, But kens o Westerha', Jamie.
To end the wark, here's Whistlebirk- Lang may his whistle blae, Jamie!
And Maxwell true, o sterling blue; And we'll be Johnstones a', Jamie.second version -
As I cam doon the banks o' Nith And by Glenriddell's ha', man,
There I heard a piper play Turn-coat Whigs awa; man.
Drumlanrig's towers hae tint the powers That kept the lands in awe, man:
The eagle's dead, and in his stead We've gotten a hoodie-craw, man.
The turn-coat Duke his King forsook,, When his back was at the wa', man:
The rattan ran wi'a'his clan For fear the house should fa', man.
The lads about the banks o' Nith, They trust his Grace for a', man:
But he'll sair them as he sair't his King, Turn tail and rin awa, man.tune:
Up and waur them a', Willie (212)filename
