Awa Whigs Awa Lyrics

Awa Whigs Awa lyrics

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
tune: Awa whigs awa (303)
