Just a wee deoch an doris, just a wee drop, that's all.

Just a wee deoch an doris afore ye gang awa.

There's a wee wifie waitin' in a wee but an ben.

If you can say, "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht",

Then yer a'richt, ye ken.

Hark when the night is falling

Hear! hear the pipes are calling,

Loudly and proudly calling,

Down thro' the glen.

There where the hills are sleeping,

Now feel the blood a-leaping,

High as the spirits

of the old Highland men.

O Flower of Scotland,

When will we see

Your like again,

That fought and died for,

Your wee bit Hill and Glen,

And stood against him,

Proud Edward's Army,

And sent him homeward,

Tae think again.

Here's to old England,

Ireland as well,

To Scotland, when stormy winds whistle,

I'll sit on a shamrock, I'll sit on a rose,

But, i'm blowed if I'll sit on a thistle !







Wales ? who cares, Wales b....y great fish with large tails !

Far off in sunlit places,

Sad are the Scottish faces,

Yearning to feel the kiss

Of sweet Scottish rain.

Where tropic skies are beaming,

Love sets the heart a-dreaming,

Longing and dreaming for the homeland again.

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,

Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,

Welcome to your gory bed,

Or to Victorie!



Now's the day, and now's the hour;

See the front o' battle lour;

See approach proud Edward's power-

Chains and Slaverie!



Wha will be a traitor knave?

Wha can fill a coward's grave?

Wha sae base as be a Slave?

Let him turn and flee!



Wha, for Scotland's King and Law,

Freedom's sword will strongly draw,

Free-man stand, or Free-man fa',

Let him on wi' me!



By Oppression's woes and pains!

By your Sons in servile chains!

We will drain our dearest veins,

But they shall be free!



Lay the proud Usurpers low!

Tyrants fall in every foe!

Liberty's in every blow!-

Let us Do or Die!
