Old Blind Dogs
Awa’ Whigs Awa’
[Verse 1]
Our thrissles are all flourished
And bonnie bloomed our roses
But Whigs came like a frost in June
And withered all our posies
[Chorus]
Awa, Whigs, awa
Awa, Whigs, awa
Ye're juist a pack o traitor louns
Ye'll dae nae guid at aw
[Verse 2]
Our sad decay in church and state
Surpasses my descrivin
The Whigs came ower us like a curse
And we hae done wi thrivin
[Chorus]
Awa, Whigs, awa
Awa, Whigs, awa
Ye're juist a pack o traitor louns
Ye'll dae nae guid at aw
Awa, Whigs, awa
Awa, Whigs, awa
Ye're juist a pack o traitor louns
Ye'll dae nae guid at aw
[Verse 3]
Doun the law the Whigs'll faw
Aw sae tapsalteerie
And the craw, the raen and the reuks'll blaw
Frae the wids aroun' my dearie
Doun the lawm the Whigs'll faw
Aw sae tapsalteerie
And the craw, the raen and the reuks'll blaw
Frae the wids aroun' my dearie
[Verse 4]
Our ancient croun's fawen in the dust
Deil blin' thaim wi the stour o't
And write their names in his black beuk
Wha gied the Whigs the pouer o't
[Chorus]
Awa, Whigs, awa
Awa, Whigs, awa
Ye're jist a pack o traitor louns
Ye'll dae nae guid at aw
[Verse 5]
Grim vengeance lang has taen a nap
Yet we may see him wauken
God help the day when royal heids
Are hunted like a maukin
[Chorus]
Awa, Whigs, awa
Awa, Whigs, awa
Ye're juist a pack o traitor louns
Ye'll dae nae guid at aw
Awa, Whigs, awa
Awa, Whigs, awa
Ye're juist a pack o traitor louns
Ye'll dae nae guid at aw
[Verse 6]
Doun the law the Whigs'll faw
Aw sae tapsalteerie
And the craw, the raen and the reuks'll blaw
Frae the wids aroun' my dearie
Doun the law the Whigs'll faw
Aw sae tapsalteerie
And the craw, the raen and the reuks'll blaw
Frae the wids aroun' my dearie
