lyrics

I’m wearin’ awa’ Jean,
Like snaw-wreaths in thaw, Jean,
I’m wearin’ awa’ tae the land o’ the leal
There’s nae sorrow there, Jean,
There’s neither cauld nor care, Jean,
The day is aye fair in the land o’ the leal

Tae me ye hae been true, Jean,
Your task has ended noo, Jean,
For near kythes my view o’ the land o’ the leal
Oor bonnie bairn is there, Jean,
She was baith guid an’ fair, Jean,
An’, o, we grudged her sair tae the land o’ the leal

But dry that tearfu’ ee’, Jean,
Grieve na fur her ‘n me, Jean,
Frae sin an sorrow free is the land o’ the leal
Noo fair ye weel, ma ain Jean,
This warld’s cares are vain, Jean,
We’ll meet and aye be fain in the land o’ the leal

I’m wearin’ awa’ Jean,
Like snaw-wreaths in thaw, Jean,
I’m wearin’ awa tae the land o’ the leal
There’s nae sorrow there, Jean,
There’s neither cauld nor care, Jean,
The day is aye fair in the land o’ the leal
