108 SONGS.
Nae daffin now in yon town ;
The browster-wife gets leave to di*aw
An' di-ink hersel, in yon town^
Sin' Robbie g-aed an' left them a'.
The lawin's canny counted now.
The bell that tinkled ne'er will di-aWj
The King will never get his due.
Sin' Robbie gaed an' left them a'.
The squads o' chiels that lo'ed a splore
On winter e'enings, never ca' ;
Their blythesome moments a' are o'er.
Sin' Robbie's gane an' left them a'.
Frae a' the een in yon town
I see the tears o' sorrow fa' ;
An' w;pel they may, in yon town,
Nae canty sang they hear ava.
Their e'ening sky begins to loui'.
The murky clouds thegither draw ;
Nae daffin now in yon town ;
The browster-wife gets leave to di*aw
An' di-ink hersel, in yon town^
Sin' Robbie g-aed an' left them a'.
The lawin's canny counted now.
The bell that tinkled ne'er will di-aWj
The King will never get his due.
Sin' Robbie gaed an' left them a'.
The squads o' chiels that lo'ed a splore
On winter e'enings, never ca' ;
Their blythesome moments a' are o'er.
Sin' Robbie's gane an' left them a'.
Frae a' the een in yon town
I see the tears o' sorrow fa' ;
An' w;pel they may, in yon town,
Nae canty sang they hear ava.
Their e'ening sky begins to loui'.
The murky clouds thegither draw ;
