IN FREENSHIP'S NAME
Here aroon the ingle blazing
Wha sae happy and sae free,
Though the northern winds blaw freezy
Freenship warms baith you and me
CHORUS: Happy we've been aa thegither
Canty we've been yin and aa,
Time shall see us aa mair blyther
Ere we rise tae gang awa
See the miser ower his treisure
Gloatin' wi' a greedy ee
Wha can fill his woes wi' pleisure
As aroon us here we see
Can the peer in silk and ermine
Caa his conscience half his ain
His claes are edged and spun with vermin
Though he sits upon a throne
Thus then let us aa be tassin
Though ower the stoops o generous fame
And while roon the board is passin
Raise a sang in freenship's name
Freenship makes us aa mair happy
Freenship gies us a' delight
Freenship consecretes the drappie
Freenship brocht us here the nicht
