LIBERTY
George Weir

By the cross that Andrew bore,
By the sword that William wore,
By the crown our Robert swore,
We'll win our liberty.
Ca' the falcon frae the glen,
Ca' the eagle frae the ben,
ea' the lion frae his den,
Tae win our liberty.

By the man whose faith was old,
By the man they sold for gold,
By the man they'll never hold,
We'll win our liberty.
Ca' the thieves of Liddesdale,
Ca' the spears of Annandale,
Ca' the brave of Yarrow vale,
Tae win our liberty.

By the man who bends the bow,
By the man who plies the blow,
By the man who lays them low,
We'll win our liberty.
Ca' the banners frae the west,
Ca' the raven frae his nest,
Ca' the clans that dance the best
Tae win our liberty.

By the field that once was green,
By the shield of silver sheen,
By the swords in battle keen,
We'll win our liberty.
Bless the man whose faith we hold,
Bless the man in chains they sold,
Bless the man in cloth of gold,
We'll win our liberty.
