Robert Burns - Here`s A Health To Them That`s Awa
Work rating: Low

Here`s a health to them that`s awa,
     Here`s a health to them that`s awa
And wha winna wish guid luck to our cause,
     May never guid luck be their fa`!
It`s guid to be merry and wise,
     It`s guid to be honest and true,
It`s guid 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!
Here`s a health to Charlie, the chief o` the clan,
     Altho that his band be sma`!
May Liberty meet wi success,
     May Prudence protect her frae evil!
May tyrants and Tyranny tine i` the mist
     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, the Norlan` laddie,
     That lives at the lug o` the Law!
Here`s freedom to thern that wad read,
     Here`s freedom to them that would 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,
     An here`s to them that`s awa!
Here`s to Maitland and Wycombe! let wha does na 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,
And may he 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,
     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!
