about

(words Watson; music Cuffe)

lyrics

Sit doon here my cronies an gie us yer crack
Let the wind tak the care o the wairld on its back
Oor hearts tae despondency we never will submit
For we've ayeways bon provided for, an sae will we yet
An sae will we yet, an sae will we yet
We've ayeways bin provided for, an sae will we yet

The miser delights in the hoardin’ o’ his pelf
For he hasnae the soul tae enjoy it himself
The bounties o’ Providence are mair every day
Let us live by the way, let us live by the way
As we journey thro’ life, let us live by the way

Sae fill us a tankard o nappy broon ale
It'll comfort our herts an enliven the tale
For we'll aye be the merrier the langer that we sit
For we drank thegither mony's the time, an sae will we yet
An sae will we yet, an sae will we yet
We drank thegither mony's the time, an sae will we yet

Here's a health tae the fairmer, an prosper his ploo
Rewardin his eident toils aa the year through
At the seed-time or hairst we e’er mair shall get
For we've lippen'd aye tae Providence, an sae will we yet
An sae will we yet, an sae will we yet
We've lippen'd aye tae Providence, an sae will we yet

Sae fill up your glasses, let the bottle gae roun
For the sun it will rise, tho the moon has gaen doon,
An tho the room be birlin roun an roun, it's time enough tae flit
When we fell we aye got up again, an sae will we yet
An sae will we yet, an sae will we yet
When we fell we aye got up again, an sae will we yet

Sae rax me your mill, an my nose I will prime, 
Let mirth an sweet innocence employ a’ our time;
Nae quarrelin’ nor fechtin’ we n’er will admit;
For we’ve pairted aye in unity, an sae will we yet
Aye, an sae will we yet, an sae will we yet
For we’ve pairted aye in unity, an sae will we yet
