Awa' Whigs Awa'


by Robert Burns
Chorus:
Awa, Whigs, awa!
Ye're but a pack o traitor louns,
Ye'll do nae guid at a'.

1. Our thrissles flourish'd fresh and fair,
And bonie bloom'd our roses;
But Whigs cam like a frost in June,
An wither'd a our posies.
Chorus:

2. Our ancient crown's fa'en in the dust;
Deil blin' them wi the stoure o't!
An write their names in the black beuk,
Wha gae the Whigs the power o't.
Chorus:
3. Our sad decay in church and state
Surpasses my descriving:
The Whig cam o'er us for a curse,
An' we hae done wi' thriving.
Chorus:

4. Grim Vengeance lang has taen a nap,
But we may see him waukin:
Gude help the day when Royal heads
Are hunted like a maukin!
Chorus
