I got this version off another website, and then found myself driving through Wilsontoon, and later found someone who actually knew this version as she had been brought up in Lanarkshire.

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 Scobie,
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 Scobie,
His hert is leal, he's true as steel,
   An' a hauf is aye his hobby.

Chorus:

So whenever freendly freens may meet,
   Wherever Scots foregather,
We'll raise our gless, we'll shout Hurroo,
It's Carnwath Mill for ever.

Chorus:
