(G. S. MacLennan / Andy Hunter) Up and awa' and awa' wi' the laverock
Up and awa' and awa' in the morning
Up and awa' and awa' wi' the laverock
Up and awa' tae the hills wi' me
Wi' yir cast and yir gut and yir flea and yir heuk
Wi' yir cast and yir gut and yir rod and yir reel
Wi' yir cast and yir gut and a wee pickle luck
Ye'll hae plenty o' troot fur tae pit in yir creel
Fur there's troot in the Jaw and troot in Loch Awe
There's troot in the Leven, the Tummel, the Spey
Loch Kethrine's watter is guid fur a batter
The mair ye can slauchter the mair ye can fry
Wi' yir drum on the fire ye're laird o' the shire
Wi' yir drum on the fire ye're makin' yir tea
Wi' yir drum on the fire ye canna weel tire
O' the wheeplin curlew coorlin' free
(as sung by The McCalmans)
