The Rowan Tree.

 
Auld lang syne

we are bit twa twigs oan a burn
floatin awa tae the great oceans churn.

alane, we foond thegither, we wir strong
-an honest remedie.
ye wir nivir far fae me.

fer the rains stairt tae faw fae the lift
an ah became loast in the wa'er, gey adrift.
Ma drookit sel poued me doon
ma ainly thocht wis ,ayont aw this ah'd see ye soon.
