SCOTTISH AIRS

LYRICS

Scots wha hae

Scots wha hae with Wallace bled (who have)
Scots whom Bruce hath often led
Welcome to your glory bed
or to victory.

Now’s the day and now’s the hour
See the front of battle lour (frown)
See approach proud Edward’s power
chains and slavery.

By oppression’s woes and pains;
by your sons in servile chains,
We will drain our deepest 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 (die)
on to victory.

Skye Boat Song

Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing
“Onward” the sailors cry.
Carry the lad that’s born to be king
over the sea to Skye.

Will ye no come back again?

Will ye no come back again?
Will ye no come back again?
Better loved ye canna be.
Will ye no come back again?

Scotland the Brave

Hark when the night is falling
Hear, hear the pipes are calling
Loudly and proudly calling
down through the glen.

Land of the high endeavour
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave!
