The Book of Scottish Song/Wha's at the window

Wha's at the window.

[Written by Alex. Carlyle. Music by E. A. Smith.]

Wha's at the window, wha, wha?
O wha's at the window, wha, wha?
⁠Wha but blythe Jamie Glen,
⁠He's come sax miles an' ten,
To tak' bonnie Jeanie awa' awa',
To tak' bonnie Jeanie awa'.

Bridal maidens are braw, braw,
O bridal maidens are braw, braw;
⁠But the bride's modest e'e,
⁠And warm cheek are to me,
'Boon pearlins and brooches, an' a', an' a',
'Boon pearlins and brooches, an' a'.

There's mirth on the green, in the ha', the ha',
There's mirth on the green, in the ha', the ha',
⁠There's laughing, there's quaffing,
⁠There's jesting, there's daffing,
But the bride's father's blythest of a', of a',
But the bride's father's blythest of a'.

It's no that she's Jamie's ava, ava,
It's no that she's Jamie's ava, ava,
⁠That my heart is sae weary,
⁠When a' the lave's cheery,
But it's just that she'll aye be awa' awa',
But it's just that she'll aye be awa'.
