Lady Nairne - The Auld Hoose Ukulele

         G              C
Oh! the auld hoose, the auld hoose,
      C                  D
What tho' the rooms were wee,
    G                C
Oh, kind hearts were dwelling there,
    D                G
And bairnies fu' o' glee.
    D
And wild rose and the jassamine
      G             D
Still hang upon the wa'
    G              C
Hoo mony cherished memories
   D                  G
Do they sweet flow'rs reca'.

         G              C
Oh, the auld Laird, the auld Laird
      C                  D
Sae canty, kind and crouse.
     G                C
Hoo mony did he welcome there,
     D                G
His ain wee dear auld hoose.
     D
And the leddy, too, sae genty,
       G             D
There shelter'd Scoltand's heir,
     G              C
An' clipt a lock wi' her ain han'
    D                  G
Frae his long yellow hair

         G              C
The mavis still doth sweetly sing,
     C                  D
The bluebells sweetly blaw.
     G                C
The bonnie Earn's clear, winding still
      D                G
But the auld hoose is awa'.
      D
The auld hoose, the auld hoose
       G         D
Deserted tho' ye be,
      G              C
There ne'er can be a new hoose,
     D                G
Will seem sae fair to me.

         G              C
Still flourishing the auld pear tree
       C               D
The bairnies liked to see.
      G                C
And oh hoo often did they speir
       D              G
When ripe they a' wad be?
       D
The voices sweet, the wee bit feet
        G         D
Aye runnin' here and there.
       G              C
The merry shouts oh, whiles we greet
     D                G
To think we'll hear nae mair.
