I'm wearin' awa', Jean,
Like snaw wreaths in thaw, Jean,
I'm wearin' awa'
To 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.
Ye aye were leal and true, Jean,
Your task's ended noo, Jean,
And I'll welcome you
To the land o' the leal.
Our bonnie bairn's there, Jean,
She was baith gude and fair, Jean,
And O we grudged her sair
To the land o' the leal.
Then dry that tearful e'e, Jean,
My soul langs to be free, Jean,
And angels wait on me
To the land o' the leal.
Now fare ye weel, my ain, Jean,
This warld's care is vain, Jean,
We'll meet and aye be fain
In the land o' the leal.
