You’re welcome, Willie Stewart
You’re welcome, Willie Stewart
There’s ne’er a flower that blooms in May
That’s half so welcome’s thou art

Come, bumpers high, express your joy
The bowl we must renew it
The tappet hen, gae bring her ben
To welcome Willie Stewart

You’re welcome, Willie Stewart
You’re welcome, Willie Stewart
There’s ne’er a flower that blooms in May
That’s half so welcome’s thou art

Though foes be strong, and friends be slack
Their action, must they rue it
May woman on him turn her back
That wrang thee, Willie Stewart

You’re welcome, Willie Stewart
You’re welcome, Willie Stewart
There’s ne’er a flower that blooms in May
That’s half so welcome’s thou art

A flower, it grows, it fades, it falls
And nature cannot renew it
But worth and truth, eternal youth
We’ll gie to Willie Stewart
May she whose arms shall enfold thy charms
Possess a loyal and true heart
To her be given to ken the heaven
She holds in Willie Stewart

You’re welcome, Willie Stewart
You’re welcome, Willie Stewart
There’s ne’er a flower that blooms in May
That’s half so welcome’s thou art
