Farewell to whisky

I'll gang to the alehoose and look for my Jimmy
The day is far spent and the night's comin' on
You're sittin' there drinkin' and leave me lamentin'
So rise up, my Jimmy and come awa' hame

Nae mind o' the bairnies that are at hame greetin'
Nae meal in the barrow to fill their wee wames
You're sittin' there drinkin' and leave me lamentin'
So rise up my Jimmy and come awa' hame

Wha's that at the door that is speakin' so kindly
It's the voice of my wifie, called Jeannie by name
You're sittin' there drinkin' and leave me lamentin'
So rise up my Jimmy and come awa' hame

Fareweel to the whisky that mak's me so brisky
Fareweel to the alehoose I'll visit nae mair
Sin Jeannie is waitin', her pair hairt is breakin'
So fare thee well, alehoose, and I'll awa' hame
