O Kenmure's on and awa, Willie, / O Kenmure's on and awa: / An' Kenmure's lord's the bravest lord / That ever Galloway saw.
Success to Kenmure's band, Willie! / Success to Kenmure's band! / There's no a heart that fears a Whig, / That rides by kenmure's hand.
Here's Kenmure's health in wine, Willie! / Here's Kenmure's health in wine! / There's ne'er a coward o' Kenmure's blude, / Nor yet o' Gordon's line.
O Kenmure's lads are men, Willie, / O Kenmure's lads are men; / Their hearts and swords are metal true, / And that their foes shall ken.
They'll live or die wi' fame, Willie; / They'll live or die wi' fame; / But sune, wi' sounding victorie, / May Kenmure's lord come hame!
Here's him that's far awa, Willie! / Here's him that's far awa! / And here's the flower that I loe best, / The rose that's like the snaw.
