"Bobby" Burns on the Apron

Unknown

There's mony a badge that's unco braw,
Wi' ribbon, lace and tape on,
Let Kings and Princes wear them a',
Gie me the Master's apron!

The honest Craftsman's apron,
The jolly Freemason's apron,
Bide he at home, or road afar,
Before his touch fa's bolt an' bar,
The gates of fortune fly ajar,
'Gin he wears the apron!

For wealth an' honor, pride an' power
Are crumbling stone to base on;
Fraternity should rule the hour
and ilka worthy Mason,
Each Free Accepted Mason,
Each Ancient Crafted Mason.

Then brithers let a halesome song
Arise your friendly ranks along,
Gudewives and bairns blithely sing
Ti' the ancient badge wi' the apron string
That is worn by the Master Mason.
