Awa' he's gane to his lang hame,
and left his bonny Jean.
and left his bonny Jean.
His memory dear will still us cheer,
I'll sing the praise o' Burns;
Ilk laddie here and lassie dear,
must mingle wi' the worms;
Uncertain man's life but a span,
how often times we've seen;
The fairest flower in nature's bower,
pull'd in the bud when green.

Ye nymphs and swains among the plains,
and birds in ilka tree,
Ye meadows green, and farie Queen
and sailors on the sea,
Loud blaw the fame o' him that's gane,
beside the lads in urns,
Brave Scotia's boys will still rejoice,
to hear the name of Burns.

Frae morn till night my heart grows light,
to hear the lasses sing
His bonny sang that name can bang,
it gars my lugs a' ring,
It's bonnie air can banish care,
by ingle sides at e'en,
