You entered our lives as a soul of an angel
Traveling a distance
From the likes of Grange Hill
Your health from the beginning
Was such a struggle
Painful and ill
The deadly Parvo wanted to show us
How baneful it was and will kill
You fought against it day and night
Tenacious and fierce
like a dogs powerful bite
We celebrated when you won the fight
How beautiful, gracefully showed
Your courageous might
It was such an amazing sight
You’re the star shining bright
Seeing you playing again running
In the backyard with zest
Showing us how you do everything the best
Years have passed
Until one day you started to wheeze
Another fight, now with Addison Disease
We almost lost you
Your strength and determination
kept pushing through
Like a whistling whippoorwill
As you kept going on pill after pill
Showing no signs of any ill will
While I play your song, River
You danced holding in your mouth
Mr. Rat your favorite toy
We clapped seeing you happy filled with joy
As we chant
Good boy baby Willow!
Your soulful eyes
Will take any broken heart
Mend it whole
Your pure essence is the river of old
Wise, majestic, beautiful glittering glow
Always wanting to forever hold
Never ever letting you go
The river of Willow
Will endlessly continue to flow
Awa' oan the Firth of Forth,
high oan the famous brig',
a laboring lad toils tirelessly
in the cauld and bitter wind.
Awa' aff the river shore,
a braw lassie waits for him,
scourin' and roastin' tatties
in a bonny wee but and ben.
The carls would hae him drinkin',
The cummers would pay him 'ahind the door,
but he oany has wan thing oan his mind
and she's awa' aff the river shore.
*Translation*
Away on the Firth of Forth,
high on the famous bridge,
a laboring lad toils tirelessly
in the cold and bitter wind.
Away off the river shore,
a braw lassie waits for him,
scouring and roasting tatties
in a bonny wee but and ben.
The carls would have him drinking,
the cummers would pay him behind the door,
but he only has one thing on his mind
and she's away off the river shore.

Just give me a frozen river
So I could skate away
Then give me a minute more
Tell you how I feel today
I live here in a verdant land
We never do see snow
So I'll make a lot of money
Then to another place I'll go
I want to see the snow in Winter
See the bright clothes people wear
Join the fun of Halloween
Have kids give me a scare
I had a man I thought I loved
I know he loved me more
But when he got to know me well
He near flew out the door
I now have lost a lover who
Was gonna worship me
Put it down to bad behaviour
And undue jealousy
So if I could find that frozen river
Skate with sorrow in my heart
Maybe find him once again
And make a brand new start
