o kenmures on and awa, willie(1/1)

o kenmure's on and awa, willie

o kenmure's on and awa, willie,

o kenmure's on and awa:

an' kenmure's lord's the bravest lord

that ever galloway saw.

success to kenmure's band, willie!

success to kenmure's band!

there's no a heart that fears a whig,

that rides by kenmure's hand.

here's kenmure's health in wine, willie!

here's kenmure's health in wine!

there's ne'er a coward o' kenmure's blude,

nor yet o' gordon's line.

o kenmure's lads are men, willie,

o kenmure's lads are men;

their hearts and swords are metal true,

and that their foes shall ken.

they'll live or die wi' fame, willie;

they'll live or die wi' fame;

but sune, wi' sounding victorie,

may kenmure's lorde hame!

here's him that's far awa, willie!

here's him that's far awa!

and here's the flower that i loe best,

the rose that's like the snaw.
