The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's)

B COY'S FAREWELL TO PANG AMO © R. H. C. Farewell to the mists of early dawn That rolled from the hills on each new morn Farewell to the crickets that chirped in the night The sand flies, the mossies and wee things that bite Farewell to the hoocheys and bashas so neat. Farewell to the sandals we wore on our feet Farewell to the boots that always were wet Farewell to the OG's all covered in sweat Farewell to the choppers that brought in our mail Oft were they late which caused many a wail Farewell to the Hastings which dropped in our gear Why was the maldrop always our beer? Farewell to Pang Amo a jewel in this land Our home that was fashioned by sweat and by hand This little Scotland on Sarawak's soil A tribute to us and to all of our toil Farewell to the recces and local patrols Farewell to the tracks all pitted with holes Farewell to the Kampongs and all their stench To give up all this will not cause a wrench
