[Verse]
Our thrissles are a flourish d
And bonnie bloom d our roses
But Whigs cam like a frost in June
An wither d a our posies
[Chorus]
Awa , Whigs, awa
Awa , Whigs, awa
Ye re jist a pack o traitor louns
Ye ll dae nae guid at a
[Verse]
Our sad decay in church and state
Surpasses my descriving
The Whigs cam o er us like a curse
And we hae done wi thriving
[Chorus]
Awa , Whigs, awa
Awa , Whigs, awa
Ye re jist a pack o traitor louns
Ye ll dae nae guid at a
[Chorus]
Awa , Whigs, awa
Awa , Whigs, awa
Ye re jist a pack o traitor louns
Ye ll dae nae guid at a
[Verse]
Doon the law the Whigs ll fa
A sae tapsalteerie
And the craw, the raven and the rocks ll fla
Frae the wids around my dearie
[Verse]
Doon the law the Whigs ll fa
A sae tapsalteerie
And the craw, the raven and the rocks ll fla
Frae the wids around my dearie
[Verse]
Our ancient crown s fa n in the dust
Deil blin them wi the stoure o t
An write their names in his black beuk
Wha gae the Whigs the power o t
[Chorus]
Awa , Whigs, awa
Awa , Whigs, awa
Ye re jist a pack o traitor louns
Ye ll dae nae guid at a
[Verse]
Grim vengeance lang has taen a nap
Yet we may see him wauken
Gude help the day when royal heads
Are hunted like a maukin
[Chorus]
Awa , Whigs, awa
Awa , Whigs, awa
Ye re jist a pack o traitor louns
Ye ll dae nae guid at a
[Chorus]
Awa , Whigs, awa
Awa , Whigs, awa
Ye re jist a pack o traitor louns
Ye ll dae nae guid at a

Doon the law the Whigs ll fa
A sae tapsalteerie
And the craw, the raven and the rocks ll fla
Frae the wids around my dearie

And the craw, the raven and the rocks ll fla
