Four Popular Songs (7)/Kenmure's On and Awa

Kenmure's on AND awa;

Kenmure's on and awa willie,
 Kenmure's on and awa.
And Kenmure's lord's the bravest lord,
 That ever Galloway saw.
Success to Kenmure's band willie,
 Success to Kenmure's band,
There's no a heart that fears a Whig,
 Thrt rides by Kenmure's hand.

There's a rose in Kenmure's cap willie,
 There's a rose in Kenmure's cap.
He'el steep it red in ruddy heart's blude,
 Afore the battle drap.
For Kenmure's lads are men willie,
 For Kenmure's lads are men,
Their hearts and swords are metal true,
 And that their faes shall ken,

They'll live or die wi' fame willie,
 They'll live or die wi' fame,
And soon wi' sounding victsry,
 May Kenmure's lads come hame.
Here's Kenmure's health in wine willie,
 Here's Kenmure's health in wine,
There ne'er was a coward o' Kenmure's blud
 Nor yet o' Gordon's line.

His lady's cheeks were red willie.
 His lady's checks were red
When she saw his steely jupes put on
 Which smelled o' deadly feud.
Here's him that's far awa willie,
 Here's him that's far awa,
And here's the flower that I lo'e best,
 The rose that's like the snaw.
