The Land o' the Leal.

I'm wearing awa Jean,Like snaw when its thaw Jean;I'm wearing awato the land o' the leal.There's nae sorrow there Jean,There's nae cauld nor care Jean,The day is ay fair,In the land o' the leal.

Ye were ay leal an true Jean,Your tasks ended now Jean,And I'll welcome youto the land o' the leal.Our bonny bairns there Jean;She was baith guid an fair Jean,And we grudg'd her right fairto the land o' the leal.

Then dry that tearfu' ee Jean,my soul langs to be free Jean,And angels wait on meto the land o' the leal.Now fare ye weel my ain Jean,This warlds care is vain Jean,We'll meet and ay be fainIn the land o' the leal.
