The Land o' the Leah
TUNE-Hey titti tatS.
I'm wearing awa, Jean,
Like snaw when it's thaw, Jean ;
I'm wearing awa
To the land o' the leal.
There's nae sorrow there, Jean,
There's nae cauld nor care, Jean ;
The day is ay fair,
In the land o' the leal.
Ye were ay leal and true, Jean,
Your task's ended now, Jean,
And I'll welcome you
To the land o' the leal.
Our bonny bairn's there, Jean,
She was baith guid an' fair, Jean ?
And we grudg'd her right sair
To the land o' the leal.
Then dry that tearfu' ee, Jean,,
My soul langs to be free Jean,
And angels wait on me
To the land a' the leal.
