MY NANNIE'S AWA'.
Words by Burns.
lambkins that bleat ower the braes, While birds war - ble wel - come in
il - ka green shaw; But to me it's de-light-3ess, my Nannie's a - wa\
But to me it's de - light - less, my Nannie's
The snaw-drap and primrose our woodlands adorn,
And violets bathe in the weet o' the morn ;
They pain my sad bosom, sae sweetly they blaw !
They mind me o' Nannie — and Nannie's awa.
Thou laverock, that springs frae the dews of the lawn,
The shepherd to warn of the grey-breaking dawn,
And thou mellow mavis, that hails the night-fa' ;
Give over for pity — my Nannie's awa'.
Come, autumn, sae pensive, in yellow and grey,
And soothe me wi' tidings o' Nature's decay :
The dark, dreary winter, and wild-driving snaw,
A lane can delight me — my Nannie's awa'.
