Their fame is alive, tliough their spirits are fled
On the wings of the year that's awa.
Theiv fame is alive, &c.
Here's to the friend we can trust,
When the storms of adversity blaw ;
May they live in our song, and be nearest our hearts,
Nor depart like the year that's awa.
May they live, &c.
HURRAH FOR THE BONNETS OF BLUE.
Tune — Hurrah for the Bonnets o' Blue.
Here's a health to them that's awa,
Here's a health to them that's awa ;
And wha winna wish for good luck to our cause,
May never guid luck be their fa'.
It's guid to be merry and wise,
It's guid to be honest and true ;
It's guid to support Caledonia's cause,
And bide by the bonnets of blue.
Hurrah for the bonnets of blue I
Hurrah for the bonnets of blue !
It's guid to support Caledonia's cause.
And bide by the bonnets of blue.
Here's a health to them that's awa,
Here's a health to them that's awa ;
Here's a health to Charlie^ the chief o' the clan,
Although that his band be sae sma'^
Here's freedom to him that would read,
Here's freedom to him that would write ;
There's nane ever fear'd that the truth should be heard,
But they whom the truth wad indite.
