Gloomy Winters Noo Awa'




Gloomy Winter's noo awa'
Soft the westlin breezes blaw
Among the birks o' Stanley shaw
The mavis sings fu' cheerie O
Sweet the crawflowers early bell
Decks Glenifer's dewy dell
Blooming like your bonny sel'
My ain my airtless dearie O
Come my lassie let us stray
O'er Glenkilloch's sunny brae
And blithely spend the gowden day
Midst joys that ne'er wearie O
Come my lassie let us stray
O'er Glenkilloch's sunny brae
And blithely spend the gowden day
Midst joys that ne'er wearie O
Towering o'er the Newton woods
Lav'rocks fan the snow white clouds
Siller soughs wi' downy buds
Adorn the banks sae brearie O
Around the silvan fairy nooks
Feathery breckans fringe the rocks
Beneath the brae the burnie jouks
And ilka thing is cheerie O
Trees may bud and birds may sing
Flowers may bloom and verger spring
But joy to me they canna bring
Unless wi' ye my dearie O
Trees may bud and birds may sing
Flowers may bloom and verger spring
But joy to me they canna bring
Unless wi' ye my dearie O
Trees may bud and birds may sing
Flowers may bloom and verger spring
But joy to me they canna bring
Unless wi' ye my dearie O
