We're No Awa' Tae Bide Awa'

We're No Awa' Tae Bide Awa'

 

Oh we're no awa' tae bide awa'

We're no' awa' tae le'e ye,

We're no' awa' tae bide awa',

We'll aye come back an' see ye.

 

As I was walking doon the street,

I met wee Johnny Scobie,

Says he tae me, "Could ye go a hauf?"

Says I, "Man that's ma hoabby."

 

And we're no awa' tae bide awa'

We're no' awa' tae le'e ye,

We're no' awa' tae bide awa',

We'll aye come back an' see ye.

 

Here's tae the lassies, Bless them hearts.

Sae bonnie and sae kindly.

Here's tae the yins I lo'e the day,

And the yins I've left behind me.

 

Am no awa' tae bide awa',

Am no awa' tae le'e ye,

Am no awa' tae bide awa',

Ah'll aye come back an' see ye.

 

And here's tae you, and here's tae me,

And where e'r we for gather.

We'll raise a gless, and drink a toast,

to Scotland! Now and forever!

 

And we're no awa' tae bide awa'

We're no' awa' tae le'e ye,

We're no' awa' tae bide awa',

We'll aye come back an' see ye.
