Lyrics

Fareweel tae aw wir Scottish fame
Fareweel oor ancient glory
Fareweel e'en tae wir Scottish name
That's praised in martial story
Now the Sark, it runs tae the Solway sands
Tweed it runs tae the ocean
Tae mark whaur England's province stands
Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation
What force nor guile could not subdue
Through many warlike ages
Is wrought now by a coward few
For hireling traitor's wages
Oh, the English steel we could disdain
Safe in valour's station
Aye, but English gold has been wir bane
Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation
Oh, would or could I hae seen the day
That treason thus befell us
My auld gray heid hae lien in clay
Wi Bruce an' loyal Wallace
Aye, wi pith an' power till my last hour
I'll mak this declaration
We were bought and sold for English gold
Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation
Fareweel tae aw wir Scottish fame
Fareweel oor ancient glory
Fareweel e'en tae wir Scottish name
That's praised in martial story
Now the Sark, it runs tae the Solway sands
Tweed it runs tae the ocean
Tae mark whaur England's province stands
Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation
Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation
Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation
