DOON THE BURN.
"I'Avas doon the 'burn, doon the burn Whene'er the . schule 'cam oot,' And ower the stanes, arid 'neath the banks We guddled for. the troot. .... Oh, 'gie me back -those summer days So innocent "and free, , Oh, gie me hack the lads avlio played And / ran aboot Avi'/me.
Twas doon the. burn, ,. doon .the,- burn And through the brig Avi' glee — Oor builts dnd stockin's ; on our backs
And trousers 'b.une, the kjiee ; , Tlie , hawthorn white upon the hedge
Tlie broom upon the brae — I've seen it a' through langsome nights When far .'free hame I lay.
'Tavos doon the burn, doon the -burn We'll 'meet again nae'mair — The lads wha guddled there wi' me Are- scattered ' eyeryAvhere. They're on the ocean noo o' life And sailin' far and near; I winder if . they sometimes muid The days that were so dear. . _-'j-.' r i ' ■'■'■ — Andrew Bullion
