Wandering WillieFirst Version
wandering willie—first version here awa, there awa, wandering willie, now tired with wandering, haud awa hame; e to my bosom, my ae only dearie, and tell me th'st me my willie the same. loud blew the cauld winter winds at our parting; it was na the blast brought the tear in my e'e: now wele the simmer, and wely willie, the simmer to nature, my willie to me. ye hurries rest in the cave o'your slumbers, o how your wild horrors a lover alarms! awaken ye breezes, row gently ye billows, and waft my dear laddie ance mair to my arms. but if he's fotten his faithfullest nannie, o still flow between us, thou wide r main; may i never see it, may i row it, but, dying, believe that my willie's my ain!
