Gloomy Winter's NO awa'
(by Fred Gosbee)


Gloomy winter's no awa
Snell the nor'land wind does blaw
Noo ance mair my pipes tae thaw
I fire my wee-bit torch-i-o

Tho' we pit them in wi' care
There's a pairt wha maun bide bare
Sae wi' mony a winze an' swear
I squattle 'neath the porch-i-o

I maun gae oot altho I ken
The wather's minus twintie-yin
Wi' snaw an gowstie wheeplin wind;
Hit disnae please me well-i-o

This comes o me ilka year
Yet ae kynd howp I culyie dear
Whan I quat this mortal sphere
There's nae gealt pipes in hell-i-o
