Farewell to Whisky |
| Oh Johnnie, my man, do ye no think on risin' |
| The day is fair spent and the night comin' on |
| Ye’re siller’s near dune and the stoup’s room before ye |
| So rise up, my Johnnie, and come awa' hame |
| Wha’s that at the door that speakin' so kindly |
| 'Tis the voice of your wifie, ca’d Jeanie by name |
| Come in by my dearie and sit down beside me |
| It’s time enough yet for to gang awa' hame |
| Don’t ye mind on the time when we first fell a-courtin' |
| We had naething but love then to trouble our mind |
| We spent a' our time 'mang the sweet-scented roses |
| And you ne’re thocht it lang then to gang awa' hame |
| Oh weel dae I mind on the time that ye speak o' |
| And weel dae I mind on yon sweet flowery glen |
| But thae days are a’past and will never return love |
| So sit down beside me and I’ll soon gang hame |
| Don’t ye mind on your bairns they’re a' at hame greetin' |
| There’s nae meal in the barrel to fill their wee wames |
| While ye sit here drinkin', and leave me lamentin' |
| O, rise up, my Johnnie, and come awa' hame |
| Then Johnnie rose up, and he banged the door open |
| Sayin' «Cursed be the tavern that ere let me in» |
| And cursed be the whisky that made me sae frisky |
| Oh fare ye well, whisky, for I’m awa' home |
