Up an Waun Them a` Jamie
(Robert Burns)
The Laddies by the banks o Nith
Wad trust his Grace wi a` Jamie;
But he`ll sair them, as he sair`d the King-
Turn tail and rin awa, Jamie.
ch. Up and waun them a`Jamie,
Up and waun them a`!
The Johnstones hae the guidin o`t:
Ye turncoat Whigs, awa!
The day he stude his eountry`s friend,
Or gied her faes a claw, Jamie,
Or frae puir man a blessin wan-
That day the Duke ne`er saw, Jamie.
But wha is he, his country`s boast?
Like him there is na twa, Jamie!
There`s no a callant tents the kye,
But kens o Westerha`, Jamie.
To end the wark, here`s Whistlebirk-
Lang may his whistle blae, Jamie!
And Maxwell true, o sterling blue;
And we`ll be Johnstones a`, Jamie.
second version -
As I cam doon the banks o` Nith
And by Glenriddell`s ha`, man,
There I heard a piper play
Turn-coat Whigs awa; man.
Drumlanrig`s towers hae tint the powers
That kept the lands in awe, man:
The eagle`s dead, and in his stead
We`ve gotten a hoodie-craw, man.
The turn-coat Duke his King forsook,,
When his back was at the wa`, man:
The rattan ran wi`a`his clan
For fear the house should fa`, man.
The lads about the banks o` Nith,
They trust his Grace for a`, man:
But he`ll sair them as he sair`t his King,
Turn tail and rin awa, man.
tune:Up and waur them a`, Willie (212)
