lyrics

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has often led;
Welcome tae your gory bed,
Or to victory!

Noo's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's power
Chains and slavery!

Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base to 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 follow 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 in every blow!
Let us do or dee!

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has often led;
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victory!
