Goodnight and Joy

The year's wearin' tae the wane

And day is fadin' west awa

Out raves the torrent and the rain

And dark the cloud comes doon the shaw

Let the tempest tout and blaw

Upon his loudest winter horn

Goodnight and joy be with you all

We'll maybe meet again the morn

We have wandered far and wide

O'er scotland's hills o'er firth and fell

Mony a simple flower we've culled

And trimmed them wi' the heather bell

We've ranged the dingle and the dell

The hamlet and the baron's ha'

And let us take a kind farewell

Goodnight and joy be with you all

Though i was wayward you were kind

And sorrowed when i went astray

For o my strains were often wild

As winds upon a winter day

The far i led you from the way

Forgie a minstrel anince for a'

A tear fas wi' his parting lay

Goodnight and joy be with you a'
