King Willie

歌詞

Oh, Willie was a wanton wag The blithest lad that e'er I saw He 'mang the lasses bure the brag And carried aye the gree awa' And was nae Willie weel worth goud When seas did rowe and winds did blaw And battle's deadly stoure was blent He fought the foremost o' them a' Wha has nae heard o' Willie's fame The rose o' Britain's topmost bough Wha never stained his gallant name Nor turned his back on friend or foe And he could tak' a ranting glass And he could chant a cheery strain And he could kiss a bonnie lass And aye be welcome back again Though now he wears the British crown For whilk he never cared a flee Yet still the downright honest tar The same kind-hearted chiel is he And every night I fill my glass And fill it reaming to the brim And drink it in a glowing health To Adie Laidlaw and to him I've ae advice to gie my king And that I'll gie wi' right good-will Stick by the auld friends o' the crown Wha bore it up through good and ill For new-made friends and new-made laws They suit nae honest hearts ava And Royal Willie's worth I'll sing As lang as I hae breath to draw
