Chorus (after each verse): Far are ye gan the day, my Willie-oh? Far are ye gan the day, sae blithe and bonnie? Gone o'er the knowe and doon the brae Tae serve the king you were bound away Fan will ye come hame tae oor Jamie? Ah mind o' aw the winter's nichts Ye'd keep me frae hairm The lang warm days in the summer's licht Doon on Hully's fairm Fan ye an' me wid be sae free Frae thochts and frae cares 'Til the sairgeant, he cam roond And took ye frae ma airms Ah mind the day ye first cam by Ye'd cam for the shearin Dee ya mind how Ah caught yer rovin eye? But noo Ah'm left here fearin For noo Ah da ken fan we'll be Back again thegither Fur ye are far noo o'er the sea Fan will oor bairnie see his faither? Ah saa ye tak the lang road doon Yer claes aw in a bun'le Suin lost the soond o yer trampin shoon Ma he'rt ta'en a tum'le As Ah saa yer heid gang oot a sicht As Ah luiked across the Mearns Fa will bide wi me the nicht? Fa will haud ma bairn? 1
