My Heart is in New Cumnock

By Billy Stevenson

My heart’s in New Cumnock
my heart is not here
my heart’s in New Cumnock
with them ah luv dear
Greenhill up the Coupla
the Connel Park row
my heart’s in New Cumnock
wherever I go

My heart’s in New Cumnock
my heart is not here
oor upbringin hard
but no withoot cheer
we a’ pu’d the gither
thro high and thro low
my heart’s in New Cumnock
wherever I go

My heart’s in New Cumnock
my heart is not here
the bank skil the toon skil
both auld and austere
remember the tawse
that made yur hawns glow
my heart’s in New Cumnock
wherever I go

My heart’s in New Cumnock
my heart is not here
the Z.I. – Dalhanna
sweet Afton so clear
Wi sclum up Blackcraig
The big dam below
my heart’s in New Cumnock
wherever I go

My heart’s in New Cumnock
my heart is not here
Glenafton Athletic
the black and white gear
the Kirriemuir train
wi Danny an’ co
my heart’s in New Cumnock
wherever I go

My heart’s in New Cumnock
my heart is not here
the Corsencon welcome
has no got its peer
ower Polquirter
it’s then that I know
my heart’s in New Cumnock
wherever I go

My heart’s in New Cumnock
my heart is not here
memries of guid times
when naeb'dy need fear
the weans were oot playin'
oft far fae their home
my heart’s in New Cumnock
wherever I roam

My heart’s in New Cumnock
my heart is not here
whin ithers were needy
wi’d willingly share
nae riches to pinch
the aye open home
my heart’s in New Cumnock
wherever I roam

My heart’s in New Cumnock
my heart is not here
we left for the guid life
shed munny a tear
away from the heartland
that’s aye ma troo home
my heart’s in New Cumnock
wherever I roam

my heart’s in New Cumnock
my heart is not here
the neebors an’ freenships
a think o’ each year
canee be beaten
where noo we ca’ home
my heart’s in New Cumnock
wherever I roam
