Lyrics - Up An Waun Them A Jamie by Burns Robert

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)filename[
