THE YEAR THAT'S AWA'.

Set to Music by Moore

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

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

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