  • Here's to the year that's awa'. Scotch Song, music arranged by L. Sloper.

Words:

Here's to the year that's awa'!
Let us drink it in strong and in sma';
And here's to each bonny young lassie we lov'd
In the days of the year that's awa'.
And here's to each bonny young lassie we lov'd
In the days of the year that's awa'.

Here's to the soldier that bled
And the sailor who bravely did fa';
Their fame will still live tho' their spirits are fled,
On the wings of the year that's awa'
Their fame will still live, tho' their spirits are fled
On the wings of the year that's awa'.

Here's to the friends 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'a awa'.
May they live in our song and be nearest our heart,
Nor depart like the year that's awa'.

Here's to the land of our birth,
To the Queen, wha's the pride o' us a';
May she ever be blest, and ne'er look with regret
On the days o' the year that's awa'.
May she ever be blest and ne'er look with regret
On the days o' the year that's a wa'.
