AULD chuckie Reekie's sair distrest	A
Down droops her ance weel burnish'd crest	A
Nae joy her bonie buskit nest	A
Can yield ava	B
Her darling bird that she lo'es best	A
Willie's awa	C
	-
	-
O Willie was a witty wight	A
And had o' things an unco' sleight	A
Auld Reekie aye he keepit tight	A
And trig an' braw	D
But now they'll busk her like a fright	A
Willie's awa	C
	-
	-
The stiffest o' them a' he bow'd	A
The bauldest o' them a' he cow'd	A
They durst nae mair than he allow'd	A
That was a law	E
We've lost a birkie weel worth gowd	A
Willie's awa	C
	-
	-
Now gawkies tawpies gowks and fools	F
Frae colleges and boarding schools	F
May sprout like simmer puddock stools	F
In glen or shaw	E
He wha could brush them down to mools	F
Willie's awa	C
	-
	-
The brethren o' the Commerce chaumer	D
May mourn their loss wi' doolfu' clamour	D
He was a dictionar and grammar	D
Among them a'	G
I fear they'll now mak mony a stammer	D
Willie's awa	C
	-
	-
Nae mair we see his levee door	D
Philosophers and poets pour	D
And toothy critics by the score	D
In bloody raw	D
The adjutant o' a' the core	D
Willie's awa	C
	-
	-
Now worthy Gregory's Latin face	F
Tytler's and Greenfield's modest grace	F
Mackenzie Stewart such a brace	F
As Rome ne'er saw	F
They a' maun meet some ither place	F
Willie's awa	C
	-
	-
Poor Burns ev'n Scotch Drink canna quicken	H
He cheeps like some bewilder'd chicken	H
Scar'd frae it's minnie and the cleckin	H
By hoodie craw	F
Grieg's gien his heart an unco kickin	H
Willie's awa	C
	-
	-
Now ev'ry sour mou'd girnin blellum	I
And Calvin's folk are fit to fell him	I
Ilk self conceited critic skellum	I
His quill may draw	F
He wha could brawlie ward their bellum	I
Willie's awa	C
	-
	-
Up wimpling stately Tweed I've sped	A
And Eden scenes on crystal Jed	A
And Ettrick banks now roaring red	A
While tempests blaw	E
But every joy and pleasure's fled	A
Willie's awa	C
	-
	-
May I be Slander's common speech	J
A text for Infamy to preach	J
And lastly streekit out to bleach	J
In winter snaw	H
When I forget thee Willie Creech	J
Tho' far awa	C
	-
	-
May never wicked Fortune touzle him	I
May never wicked men bamboozle him	I
Until a pow as auld's Methusalem	I
He canty claw	E
Then to the blessed new Jerusalem	I
Fleet wing awa	C
