The Auld Hoose by Lady Nairne
The Auld Hoose
G C
Oh! the auld hoose, the auld hoose,
C D
What tho' the rooms were wee,
G C
Oh, kind hearts were dwelling there,
D G
And bairnies fu' o' glee.
D
And wild rose and the jassamine
G D
Still hang upon the wa'
G C
Hoo mony cherished memories
D G
Do they sweet flow'rs reca'.
G C
Oh, the auld Laird, the auld Laird
C D
Sae canty, kind and crouse.
G C
Hoo mony did he welcome there,
D G
His ain wee dear auld hoose.
D
And the leddy, too, sae genty,
G D
There shelter'd Scoltand's heir,
G C
An' clipt a lock wi' her ain han'
D G
Frae his long yellow hair
G C
The mavis still doth sweetly sing,
C D
The bluebells sweetly blaw.
G C
The bonnie Earn's clear, winding still
D G
But the auld hoose is awa'.
D
The auld hoose, the auld hoose
G D
Deserted tho' ye be,
G C
There ne'er can be a new hoose,
D G
Will seem sae fair to me.
G C
Still flourishing the auld pear tree
C D
The bairnies liked to see.
G C
And oh hoo often did they speir
D G
When ripe they a' wad be?
D
The voices sweet, the wee bit feet
G D
Aye runnin' here and there.
G C
The merry shouts oh, whiles we greet
D G
To think we'll hear nae mair.
