| HERE’S a health to them that’s awa, | |
| Here’s a health to them that’s awa; | |
| And wha winna wish gude luck to our cause, | |
| May never gude luck be their fa’! | |
| It’s gude to be merry and wise, | 5 |
| It’s gude to be honest and true; | |
| It’s gude to support Caledonia’s cause, | |
| And bide by the buff and the blue. | |
| |
| Here’s a health to them that’s awa, | |
| Here’s a health to them that’s awa, | 10 |
| Here’s a health to Charlie 1 the chief o’ the clan, | |
| Altho’ that his band be but sma’! | |
| May Liberty meet wi’ success! | |
| May Prudence protect her frae evil! | |
| May tyrants and tyranny tine i’ the mist, | 15 |
| And wander their way to the devil! | |
| |
| Here’s a health to them that’s awa, | |
| Here’s a health to them that’s awa; | |
| Here’s a health to Tammie, 2 the Norlan’ laddie, | |
| That lives at the lug o’ the law! | 20 |
| Here’s freedom to them that wad read, | |
| Here’s freedom to them that wad write, | |
| There’s nane ever fear’d that the truth should be heard, | |
| But they whom the truth would indite. | |
| |
| Here’s a Health to them that’s awa, | 25 |
| An’ here’s to them that’s awa! | |
| Here’s to Maitland and Wycombe, let wha doesna like ’em | |
| Be built in a hole in the wa’; | |
| Here’s timmer that’s red at the heart | |
| Here’s fruit that is sound at the core; | 30 |
| And may he be that wad turn the buff and blue coat | |
| Be turn’d to the back o’ the door. | |
| |
| Here’s a health to them that’s awa, | |
| Here’s a health to them that’s awa; | |
| Here’s chieftain M’Leod, a chieftain worth gowd, | 35 |
| Tho’ bred amang mountains o’ snaw; | |
| Here’s friends on baith sides o’ the firth, | |
| And friends on baith sides o’ the Tweed; | |
| And wha wad betray old Albion’s right, | |
| May they never eat of her bread! | 40 |
