O Kenmure's On And Awa.

Tune - "O Kenmure's on and awa, Willie."


I.

    O Kenmure's on and awa, Willie!
        O Kenmure's on and awa!
    And Kenmure's lord's the bravest lord,
        That ever Galloway saw.

II.

    Success to Kenmure's band, Willie!
        Success to Kenmure's band;
    There's no a heart that fears a Whig,
        That rides by Kenmure's hand.

III.

    Here's Kenmure's health in wine, Willie!
        Here's Kenmure's health in wine;
    There ne'er was a coward o' Kenmure's blude,
        Nor yet o' Gordon's line.

IV.

    O Kenmure's lads are men, Willie!
        O Kenmure's lads are men;
    Their hearts and swords are metal true
        And that their faes shall ken.

V.

    They'll live or die wi' fame, Willie!
        They'll live or die wi' fame;
    But soon wi' sounding victorie,
        May Kenmure's lord come hame.

VI.

    Here's him that's far awa, Willie,
        Here's him that's far awa;
    And here's the flower that I love best
        The rose that's like the snaw!
