Whit's For Ye'll No Gae By Ye
Albert Kirk Jr
pechin for a braith
wrangweys agin the croud ye gang,
keelie efter keelie thrangin
richt an caur tae heeze ye alang,
olite for champin ye, spangin
the gate an cryin ye daftie,
bootin yer shanks, duntin yer heid,
yokin yer shackles an cantie
lauchin they'll gar ye perfit deid,
willnae say hou but, keep ye feart,
cleukin clauchtin hanchin stappin
reddin oot aw the fell misleart,
yer ilk forby yersel drappin
intae yer kists, intae the cauld
grey grund, nae names on stanes abune,
forfochten an spulyit, an auld
sang whaur naeb'dy can mind the tune
cannae tak a braith
