lyrics

I'm wearing awa', John

Like snow wreaths in thaw, John

I'm wearing awa'

To the land o' the leal

There's no sorrow there, John

There's neither cold nor care, John

The day is aye fair

In the land o' the leal



Our bonny bairn is there, John

She was both good and fair, John

And ah, we grudged her sair

To the land o' the leal

But sorrow's self wears past, John

And joy's a-coming fast, John

The joy that's aye to last

In the land o' the leal



Now dry your glistening e'e, John

My soul longs to be free, John

And angels beckon me

To the land o' the leal

But hold you leal and true, John

Your day is wearing through, John

And I will welcome you

To the land o' the leal



I'm wearing awa', John

Like snow wreaths in thaw, John

I'm wearing awa'

To the land o' the leal

So fare you well, my ain John

This world's cares are vain, John

We'll meet and we'll be fain

In the land o' the leal
