AWA' WHIGS AWA'

(Robert Burns)



Our thrissles flourish'd fresh and fair,

And bonie bloom'd our roses;

But Whigs cam like a frost in June,

An wither'd a our posies.



CHORUS

Awa, Whigs, awa!

Awa, Whigs, awa!

Ye're but a pack o traitor louns,

Ye'll do nae guid at a'.



Our ancient crown's fa'n in the dust;

Deil blin' them wi the stoure o't,

An write their names in the black beuk

Wha gae the Whigs the power o't!

& ch

Our sad decay in church and state

Surpasses my descriving:

The Whig cam o'er us for a curse,

An we hae done wi thriving.

& ch



Grim Vengeance lang has taen a nap,

But we may see him waukin:

Gude help the day when Royal heads

Are hunted like a maukin!

& ch
