26*4
Thro' the lang miiir I have follow'd my Willie,
Thro' the lari^^y rnuir I have follow'd him hame^
Whatever betide us, nought shall divide us.
Love now rewards all ray sorrow and paiji.
Here awa, there awa, here awa, Willie,
Here awa, there awa, here awa hame.
Come, love, believe me, nothing can grieve me^
Ilka thing pleases while Willie's at hame.

WANDERING WILLIE,
[By Burns.]
Here awa, there awa, wandering Willie^
Here awa, there awa, hand awa hame ;
Come to my bosom, my ain only dearie.
Tell me thou bring'st me my Willie the same.
Winter winds blew loud and cauld at our parting.
Fears for my Willie brought tears in my e'e.
Welcome now simmer, and welcome my Willie ;
The simmer to nature, my Willie to me.
Rest, ye wild storms, in the cave of your slumbers^
How your dread howling a lover alarms !
Wauken ye breezes, row gently ye billows.
And waft my dear laddie unce mair to my arms.
But oh, if he's faithless, and minds na his Nanie^
Flow still between us, thou wide-4-oaring main I
May I never see it, may I never trov/ it.
But, dying, believe that my Willie's my ain.
Thro' the lang miiir I have follow'd my Willie,
Thro' the lari^^y rnuir I have follow'd him hame^
Whatever betide us, nought shall divide us.
Love now rewards all ray sorrow and paiji.
Here awa, there awa, here awa, Willie,
Here awa, there awa, here awa hame.
Come, love, believe me, nothing can grieve me^
Ilka thing pleases while Willie's at hame.
