|
Doon through the Lainshaw Awe covered in snaw. Tae the timber built hooses, That stawn in a raw. Stay the Gorries, Higgins, and the Millers an awe Aye we hae mind, when Stewarton wis braw. And up through the viaduct Tae Salt Castle raw Are the Gaits, the Paxtons, And the Nimmo's in awe Aye we hae mind, when Stewarton wis braw. And up on the street, the sand bill raw, The Gillies's, Montgomeries, the Barclays in aw. Dont be forgetting Piolis for bye We aften went there, for a chip and a pie. Aye we hae mind when Stewarton wis braw. Along the Main St, the fish man McGill. Allan the butcher, supplied the fresh kill. The Wilsons etc, the Post Office in aw. Aye we hae mind, when Stewarton wis braw. Then up tae Dean St at the tap o' the toun The Marshall's, and Wallace's aw stayed aroon, The Sweelzies remember, that auld swimmin pool. Where aften we went, right after the school. These happy times we aft times re ca, Aye we hae mind, when Stewarton wis braw. Up on the Robertland the Riverside raw The Gardiners, the Germans, the Chalmers in aw And up on the hill, the Swedish built raw The Hendersons, Hewitts, the Dudgeons in aw. Aye we hae mind, when Stewarton wis braw. Then up tae McBeth, Kilbride Rd in aw The Sheach's, McNaughton's, McDowall's in aw The good times, the bad times I still can re-ca Aye we hae mind when Stewarton wis braw. But sad how its changed, since I moved awa Thanks to our memories we mind o it aw Aye we hae mind, when Stewarton wis braw. This memory tour, of the folk that I knew. Some are still with us, but, only a few. I'm proud tae belong, tae the old bonnet toun. Tae tell you the truth, its the best wan aroon. Fond memories linger, sweet hours I re-ca Aye we hae mind, when Stearton wis braw. |
