" title="Painted, spoken Donny O'Rourke
Til
On Rabbie’s birthday as you drain your dram
Will you wonder how and where I am
Are you with the kind of guy I shunned
Whisky cheeks and tartan cummerbund
You’ll be listening I suppose
To someone else perform A Red Red Rose
Does ‘our song’ still make you cry?
Why O why did all the seas gang dry
I’m speechifying while the exiles weep
And villas, booze and jokes are cheap
Although you are no longer ‘mine’
I reach out to you for auld land syne
You’ll be listening I suppose
To someone else perform A Red Red Rose
Does ‘our song’ still make you cry?
Why O why did all the seas gang dry
A single malt, a single rose
Suddenly single’s how it goes
I could toast the lassies now I’m free
The lass I lost’s the only lass for me
‘Ye Banks and Braes’ feel the cauld blast
‘Ae Fond Kiss’ is in the past
‘O A The Airts The Winds Can Blow’
‘Wantoness’, ‘My Nanie O’
You’ll be listening I suppose
To someone else perform A Red Red Rose
Does ‘our song’ still make you cry?
Why O why did all the seas gang dry
