YOU'RE WELCOME, WILLIE STEWART

Chorus

You're welcome, Willie Stewart!
You're welcome, Willie Stewart!
There's ne'er a flower that blooms in May,
That's half sae welcome's thou art!

I

Come, bumpers high! express your joy!
The bowl we maun renew it—
The tappet hen, gae bring her ben,
To welcome Willie Stewart!

II

May foes be strong, and friends be slack!
Ilk action, may he rue it!
May woman on him turn her back,
That wrangs thee, Willie Stewart!

Chorus

You're welcome, Willie Stewart!
You're welcome, Willie Stewart!
There's ne'er a flower that blooms in May,
That's half sae welcome's thou art!
