Up in the Morning Early<\/h1>\n

Robert Burns<\/span><\/p>\n

Cauld blaws the wind frae east to west,
\nThe drift is driving sairly;
\nSae loud and shrill\u2019s I hear the blast,
\nI\u2019m sure it\u2019s winter fairly.<\/p>\n

Up in the morning\u2019s no for me,
\nUp in the morning early;
\nWhen a\u2019 the hills are cover\u2019d wi\u2019 snaw,
\nI\u2019m sure its winter fairly.<\/p>\n

The birds sit chittering in the thorn,
\nA\u2019 day they fare but sparely;
\nAnd lang\u2019s the night frae e\u2019en to morn,
\nI\u2019m sure it\u2019s winter fairly.<\/p>\n

Up in the morning\u2019s no for me,
\nUp in the morning early;
\nWhen a\u2019 the hills are cover\u2019d wi\u2019 snaw,
\nI\u2019m sure its winter fairly.<\/p>\n
