Farewell

Travail's turn brang me tae many a place

An' all this wimplen' way

Yont the lee lang nicht

Oh I mind on the days lang begane



Sae the mindin' in yer heid

Unrowes afore yer een

Frae hours o' sweet yestreen

Aye the ember deid in monie a heid

Fare ye well I'm pertin away



Aye the wind blaws our weird

Right amang yer staur

Yer een ance glancin'

Are noo doolfu' and tired

O' the wanderin' hours



I say farewell tae the warld

Mind me weel

I say farewell tae the warld

Aye, it's lane an' cauld
