HERES' TO THE SODGER WHA BLED.

Here's to the year that's awa,We will drink it strong and in sma';An' here's to ilk bonny young lassie we lo'e;While swift flew the year that's awa.An' here's to ilk, &c.

Here's to the soger wha bled,An' the sailor wha bravely did fa':Though their fame is alive, yet their spirits are fled,On the wings of the year that's awa.Though their fame is alive, &c.

Here's to the friend we can trust,While the storms of adversity blaw;May they live in our song, and be nearest ourhearts,Nor depart like the year that's awa,May they live, &c.
