Aye! [Always!]


Lyrics composed by John Henderson on the 11th of May, 2009
to Henri de Martini and Max Kortlander's 1922 music to the song, 'Red Moon'.

Introductory Music

Hiv anither a dram afore oor pairtin;
Jist anither nip afore we gang;
Let us mak a toast an drink tae 'Freenship',
Bidin aye-atween us strang.
Syne, gie me yir han an shak upoan it,
Noo, sweer cam sheen or reyn,
As lang as we hiv braith tae kep us herty,
Oor mynds wull aye be as ane.

Fyle the ootby wirld is steerin,
We'll live quaitly, bit tak tent
Tae aye-airn eneugh guid siller,
Fur oor fem'lies an the rent;
Gin fell illness taps oor luved yins
Feshin tribbles ull tae tak,
We'll aye hiv ilk as guid neebours
Feshin waarmth an couthie crack.

Hiv anither a dram afore oor pairtin;
Jist anither nip afore we gang;
Let us mak a toast an drink tae 'Freenship',
Bidin aye-atween us strang.
Syne, gie me yir han an shak upoan it,
Noo sweer cam sheen or reyn,
As lang as we hiv braith tae kep us herty,
Oor mynds wull be as ane.
