Up An Waun Them A Jamie Lyrics - Burns Robert

Up an Waun Them a' Jamie 

(Robert Burns) 

The Laddies by the banks o Nith 

Wad trust his Grace wi a' Jamie; 

But he'll sair them, as he sair'd the King- 

Turn tail and rin awa, Jamie. 

ch. Up and waun them a'Jamie, 

Up and waun them a'! 

The Johnstones hae the guidin o't: 

Ye turncoat Whigs, awa! 

The day he stude his eountry's friend, 

Or gied her faes a claw, Jamie, 

Or frae puir man a blessin wan- 

That day the Duke ne'er saw, Jamie. 

But wha is he, his country's boast? 

Like him there is na twa, Jamie! 

There's no a callant tents the kye, 

But kens o Westerha', Jamie. 

To end the wark, here's Whistlebirk- 

Lang may his whistle blae, Jamie! 

And Maxwell true, o sterling blue; 

And we'll be Johnstones a', Jamie. 

second version - 

As I cam doon the banks o' Nith 

And by Glenriddell's ha', man, 

There I heard a piper play 

Turn-coat Whigs awa; man. 

Drumlanrig's towers hae tint the powers 

That kept the lands in awe, man: 

The eagle's dead, and in his stead 

We've gotten a hoodie-craw, man. 

The turn-coat Duke his King forsook,, 

When his back was at the wa', man: 

The rattan ran wi'a'his clan 

For fear the house should fa', man. 

The lads about the banks o' Nith, 

They trust his Grace for a', man: 

But he'll sair them as he sair't his King, 

Turn tail and rin awa, man.
