Abhainn Chluaidh

Aside the start ae the Annan an Tweed
The lifeblood ae a toonsfolk, rite at the heed
Twist an it turns, ebbs an it flows
Past Lanark toon, it meanders an goes

Harnessin the power ae thae glorious falls
Cooks dinners, heats hooses, answers oor calls
Through parks, past castles, defensible realms
Guided taewart Glesga, wae nature at the helm

Born oan the river an its illustrious banks
Nourished, an fed us, we offer oor thanks
A centre ae industry, for aw the ships ae the world
Fillt wae stories, an anecdotes, an history thats bold

Bridges criss cross the watter, aw alang the sides
A selection ae engineering brilliance, watching the tides
Oot beyond the big smoke, the adventure continues
A famous big rock, goan climb it, stretch yer sinews

Keep gaun until yae reach it, the end or the tail
A bonnie stretch a watter, that canne be curtailed
