ALEXANDER WILSON LODGE OF ODDFELLOWS DIAMOND JUBILEE
Full sixty years away have flown,
Since our lodge started in the town.
The good it’s done I truly own
Has really been surprising.
When confined at home sick and sore,
A howling wolf outside the door,
Our lodge was aye true tae the core,
And aye was sympathising.
When trouble made my heart strings throb,
Made me no fit tae work ma job,
Ilk week I promptly got ten bob,
That kept our faces smiling.
Noo, ye working chaps, blithe and gay,
Gin ye be wise, do what I say,
Put something by for a rainy day,
It’ll keep the pot a-boiling.
