O Kenmures On And Awa, Willie
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 lord come 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.
