Tae a Lass

Aye, I ken weel enouch wot yer sayin'
But we havena the penny tae spare
For I sent it a' aff tae ma bairnies -
Twa sons wha I'll ne'er see mair.

Och I ken weel enouch why yer greetin'
An' I canna say I've no' felt the same
But dry yer een, lass, an' keep workin -
Yer brithers are no' comin' hame.

An' I ken weel enouch wot they've done -
They've left their ain country behind -
But we'll no' think worse o'em fer tha', lass;
'Tis oor job tae keep 'em in mind.

Och I ken weel enouch why yer greetin'
But ye'll hae tae move on a' the same -
Sae dry yer een, lass, an' keep workin',
Fer yer brithers are no' comin' hame.
