Braw Burn the Bridges

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Bide a wee ye bonnie hours o' sweet yestreen Haud awa' the thocht that e'er I will forget Lang the wimplin' wey unrowes afore my een? And the mindin' will be sweeter yet [Chorus] Aye, the road was haudin' Frae the lass that I will aye remember Braw burn the bridges far behind me in the rain The leaves were changin' Tae the colours o' the glowing embers My heart lay waiting for the spring tae come again [Verse 2] Hae we rin the gless or daur we dream of mair While as surely as the river meets the sea? When the eastlin's wind has blawn the forest bare Will the pertin' a' the wider be? [Chorus] Aye, the road was haudin' Frae the lass that I will aye remember Braw burn the bridges far behind me in the rain The leaves were changin' Tae the colours o' the glowing ember My heart lay waiting for the spring tae come again [Verse 3] Could I leeze me on your lousome face again Gin the traivel's turn should bring me tae your side Fain would I nae langer steek my heart wi' pain Or lay curse upon the ocean wide [Chorus] Aye, the road was haudin' Frae the lass that I will aye remember Braw burn the bridges far behind me in the rain The leaves were changin' Tae the colours o' the glowing ember My heart lay waiting for the spring tae come— Aye, the road was haudin' Frae the lass that I will aye remember Braw burn the bridges far behind me in the rain The leaves were changin' Tae the colours o' the glowing ember My heart lay waiting for the spring tae come again
