Travail's turn brang me tae many a place
An' all this wimplen' way
Yont the lee lang nicht
Oh I mind on the days lang begane
Yont the lee lang nicht
Oh I mind on the days lang begane
Sae the mindin' in yer heid
Unrowes afore yer een
Frae hours o' sweet yestreen
Aye the ember deid in monie a heid
Fare ye well I'm pertin away
Aye the wind blaws our weird
Right amang yer staur
Yer een ance glancin'
Are noo doolfu' and tired
O' the wanderin' hours
I say farewell tae the warld
Oh mind me weel
I say farewell tae the warld
Aye, it's lane an' cauld
Sae the mindin' in yer heid
Unrowes afore yer een
Frae hours o' sweet yestreen
Aye the ember deid in monie a heid
Fare ye well I'm pertin away
