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.
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 fled
On the wings of the year that's awa.
To the sailor wha bravely did fa';
Their fame is on high tho' their spirits have fled
On the wings of the year that's awa.
O here's to the friend we can trust
When the storms of Adversity blaw;
May they join in our sorrow and be nearest our hearts,
Nor depart like the year; that's awa.

May they join in our sorrow and be nearest our hearts,
Nor depart like the year; that's awa.
