Thread Name: What is 'your' meaning for christmas ?
Subject: Lyr Add: WE'RE NO' AWA' TAE BIDE AWA'
We're No' Awa' Tae Bide Awa' Chorus: For we're no' awa' tae bide awa', For we're no' awa tae le'e ye, For we're no' awa' tae bide awa', We'll aye come back an' see ye. As I gaed doon by Wilsontoon I met auld Johnnie Scobbie, Says I to him will ye hae a hauf, Says he, "Man! That's my hobby."
Chorus:
So we had a hauf an' anither hauf, And then we had anither, When he got fou' he shouted "Hoo! It's Carnwath Mill for ever."
Chorus:
We wandered doon the street again We cleekit unco cheery, When John got hame his wife cried shame, I see you're enjoyin' your hobby.
Chorus:
Of a' the friens that ere I kenned, There's nane like Johnnie Scobbie, His hert is leal, he's true as steel, An' a hauf is aye his hobby.
Chorus:
So whenever friendly friens may meet, Wherever Scots foregather, We'll raise our gless, we'll shout Hurroo, It's Carnwath Mill for ever.
Chorus:
Meaning of unusual words: tae bide awa'=to stay away aye=always gaed=went hauf=a measure of alcohol fou'=drunk cleekit=walk arm in arm unco=extremely kenned=knew leal=loyal
Ok I'm awa tae ma bed noo. Awra best tae you and your whitever ye may ken And heres tae hope anither year, we'll aw be friens again
