Weel rowed in a plaidie, an' beilt frae the wun', I coortit a lassie sae winsome an' young, I whispered my love in the auld mither tongue-- The Bonnie Auld Doric o' Scotland, The Auld Scottish Doric sae fine. Where'er I may roam on the land or the sea Oor Doric will aye be the sweetest tae me; It cheers the lane hert and it lichts the sad e'e, The Bonnie Auld Doric o' Scotland, The Auld Scottish Doric sae fine. It's nonsense tae say that the Doric maun gang, For Rabbie has made it immortal in sang. Sae noo, my auld freen, jist admit ye are wrang 'Boot the Bonnie Auld Doric o' Scotland, The Auld Scottish Doric sae fine. CHEER UP! Wee bairnies in the city slum, the time is drawing near When in your lives of want and gloom the daylight will appear; There's men and women working hard; before their work is done They'll take you from your darksome home and place you in the sun. CHORUS. Then, cheer up! cheer up! Don't let your spirits go down! Always trust in Providence and never wear a frown. Cheer up! cheer up! Keep smiling if you can, It's an antidote for trouble in the life of man. Now, all young men and maidens, in the heyday of your charm, Be sure and mate with those you love, 'twill save you future harm. But if a man or maiden gay should bring your love to naught, There's as good fish in the sea to-day as ever have been caught. CHORUS. You married men and women, who have realised love's dream, And now with quiver filling, "pulling hard against the stream" You strive and work, yet wonder how your offspring may be fed; Look up! the dawn is breaking; there are better times ahead. CHORUS. You old and grey and feeble, who have spent your days in toil, To gain an honest living from the mine or from the soil, You must be better tended here, on that we all agree, Till you glimpse a fairer Eden, and your spirits are set free. CHORUS. WHERE IS THE HINDENBURG LINE? _Sung to the same tune as the famous old song, "Where is mein leedle dog gone."_ REFRAIN Where, oh where is the Hindenburg Line That is drawn on the land and the sea? 'Tis a puzzle to find, this Hindenburg Line, Oh where! Oh where can it be? Where, Oh where is the Hindenburg Line Where Hindenburg's going to stand And fight with his might against all that is right, All for love of his own Vaterland? Where, etc. Billy and Sandy, and Davy and Pat, Along with their comrades of France, Are trying to find this wonderful line, And make the old Hindenburg dance. Where, etc. If Hindenburg waits on the Hindenburg Line, His dangers increase without doubt, For the Yankees will find him and surely compel The boasting old cuss to get out. Where, etc. FORWARD.
