C
Our thrissles are a' flourish'd
F
And bonnie bloom'd our roses

But Whigs cam like a frost in June

An' wither'd a' our posies

Awa', Whigs, awa'
F
Awa', Whigs, awa'

Ye're jist a pack o' traitor louns
F
Ye'll dae nae guid at a'

Our sad decay in church and state
F
Surpasses my descriving

The Whigs cam o'er us like a curse
F
And we hae done wi' thriving

Awa', Whigs, awa'

Ye're jist a pack o' traitor louns

Doon the law the Whigs'll fa'
F
A' sae tapsalteerie

And the craw, the raven and the rocks'll fla'

Doon the law the Whigs'll fa'

Our ancient crown's fa'n in the dust
F
Deil blin' them wi' the stoure o't
C
An' write their names in his black beuk
F
Wha gae the Whigs the power o't
[Chorus]

Ye're jist a pack o' traitor louns

Grim vengeance lang has taen a nap
F
Yet we may see him wauken
C
Gude help the day when royal heads
F
Are hunted like a maukin
