Lord I'm an auld man	A

Me but an auld man	A

Thegither I hae harlt	B
Noo I maun be rid o' 't	B
The ill an' the guid o' 't	B
An' I wud I s' no back frae 't	B
Rather put til 't nor tak frae 't	B
	-
It's a pity a body	B
Coudna haud on here	D
Puttin cloddy to cloddy	B

Whaur the tide's settin	A
It'll pusion my prayer	E
Till it's no worth a hair	E

It's awfu it's awfu	F
To think 'at I'm gaein	A
Whaur a' 's ower wi' the lawfu	F
Whaur's an en' til a' haein	A
It's gruesome to en'	A
The thing 'at ye ken	A
An' gang to begin til	C
What ye canna see intil	C

Thou may weel turn awa	G
Lord an' say it's a shame	H
'At noo I suld ca'	I
On thy licht giein name	H
Wha my lang life time	J
Wud no see a stime	J
An' the fac' there's no fleein	A
But hae pity I'm deein	A

I'm thine ain efter a'	K
The waur shame I'm nae better	L
Dinna sen' me awa	G
Dinna curse a puir cratur	L
I never jist cheatit	B
I own I defeatit	B
Gart his poverty tell	C
On him 'at maun sell	C
	-
Oh that my probation	A
Had lain i' some region	A
Whaur was less consideration	A
For gear mixt wi' religion	A
It's the mixin the twa	G
'At jist ruins a'	K
That kirk's the deil's place	M
Whaur gear glorifees grace	M
	-
I hae learnt nought but ae thing	I
'At life's but a span	A

Lord lat the auld loon	A
Confess an' lie doon	A

To gie 't a bit scatter	L
Whaur it winna canker	L
But mak a bit anchor	L
	-
Noo I s'try to sit loose	O
To the warld an' its thrang	I
Lord come intil my hoose	O
For Sathan sall gang	I
Awa here I sen' him	J
Oh haud the hoose agane him	J
Or thou kens what he'll daur	L
He'll be back wi' seven waur	L
	-
Lord I knock at thy yett	B
I hear the dog yowlin	A
Lang latna me wait	B
My conscience is growlin	A
Whaur but to thee	J
Wha was broken for me	J
But to thee Lord sae gran'	A
Can flee an auld man	A
