robert burns - up an waun them a jamie lyrics

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)
