LOGIE KIRK

Violet Jacob

O Logie Kirk amang the braes, I'm thinkin’ o’ the merry days Afore I trod thae weary ways That led me far frae Logie!

Fine do I mind when I was young Abune thy graves the mavis sung An’ ilka birdie had a tongue To ca’ me back to Logie.

O Logie Kirk, tho’ aye the same The burn sings ae remembered name, There's ne'er a voice to cry “Come hame To bonnie Bess at Logie!”

Far, far awa’ the years decline That took the lassie wha was mine An’ laid her sleepin’ lang, lang syne Amang the braes at Logie.
