Sung by the Glasgow
Orpheus Choir
Scots, wha hae wi'
Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Weelcome tae yer gory bed,
Or tae 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 will 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,
Freeman stand, or Freeman 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 dee!
