| 397. Song—Wandering Willie (Revised Version) |
| | | | | Revised Version |
| |
| |
| HERE awa, there awa, wandering Willie, | |
| Here awa, there awa, haud awa hame; | |
| Come to my bosom, my ain only dearie, | |
| Tell me thou bring’st me my Willie the same. | |
| Winter winds blew loud and cauld at our parting, | 5 |
| Fears for my Willie brought tears in my e’e, | |
| Welcome nowhSimmer, and welcome, my Willie, | |
| The Simmer to Nature, my Willie to me! | |
| |
| Rest, ye wild storms, in the cave of your slumbers, | |
| How your dread howling a lover alarms! | 10 |
| Wauken, ye breezes, row gently, ye billows, | |
| And waft my dear laddie ance mair to my arms. | |
| But oh, if he’s faithless, and minds na his Nannie, | |
| Flow still between us, thou wide roaring main! | |
| May I never see it, may I never trow it, | 15 |
| But, dying, believe that my Willie’s my ain! | |
