THE YEAR THAT'S AWA.

O here's to the year that's awa,We'll drink it in strong and in sma';And here's to ilk bonny young lassie we lo'ed,In the days o' the year that's awa.

O here's to the soldier wha bled,To the sailor wha bravely did fa';Their fame is on high tho' their spirits have fledOn the wings of the year that's awa.

O here's to the friend we can trustWhen the storms of Adversity blaw;May they join in our sorrow and be nearest our hearts,Nor depart like the year; that's awa.
