- Lyrics:
Chorus -
You're welcome, Willie Stewart,
You're welcome, Willie Stewart,
There's never a flower that blooms in May,
That's half so welcome as thou art!
Come, bumpers high, express your joy,
The bowl we must renew it,
The tappit-hen, go bring her ben, [tappit-hen = a quart measure of whiskey usually served in a ben = bowl with a lid]
To welcome Willie Stewart
You're welcome, Willie Stewart...
Though foes be strong, and friends be slack
Their action, must they rue it,
May woman on him turn her back
That wrongs thee, Willie Stewart,
You're welcome, Willie Stewart...
A flower, it grows, it fades, it falls
And nature cannot renew it,
But worth and truth, eternal youth,
We'll give 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 [ken = know]
She holds in Willie Stewart.
You're welcome, Willie Stewart,
You're welcome, Willie Stewart...
Written by Robert Burns.

Made me cry. Just awesome.
She's just bloody brilliant!!!
Pure joy in musical form! I love watching Eddi dance to this in both the performances here on the 'Tube.
Never been a huge fan of Eddi........BUT this has made me change my mind...NOW i'm a fan
A great performance by Eddi and a real foot stompin' ending!
So spirited and just wonderful... gives me goosebumps
Gets me every time! Magical!
smashing singer. love her to bits. great video.
another treasure to add to my favorites!
Brilliant
The male fiddlers are John McCusker and Aidan O'Rourke. John is sat next to Phil. I don't recognize the woman. You're right, they are brilliant. We're so lucky to have them here. If you haven't already, be sure to check out Aidan's work with Lau.
Thanks, I'll be sure to look them up.

I recognize Phil Cunningham, of course. Who are the other musicians? Those fiddlers are great.

This was a smashing night! And I don't even really like Burns.
Is there a version with Scots pronunciation anywhere online?
"Stewart" and "thou art" are supposed to rhyme, ya know.
