In the 18th century way up in the |
|
Highlands |
|
The British lion roared at |
|
Scotland with a henious plan |
|
The English pushed up from the |
|
South with murderous dragoons |
|
And what they did to |
|
Scotland will not be forgotten soon |
|
The fighting feild culloden, |
|
Prince Charlie was the man |
|
Of illusionary grandure with no head for command |
|
Cumberland with cannon fired on |
|
Scots with sword in hand |
|
Brave men fought & died in kilts defending ancient clans |
|
They were |
|
Scottish, and now they're gone |
|
They were |
|
Scottish, and they live on |
|
The Higlanders were cut to shreds, hung & lost their heads |
|
To put some to rot in prisons and left 'em all for dead |
|
No mercy for the |
|
Highland people screaming through the years |
|
Some were chained & shipped as slaves far off to new frontiers |
|
People come & people go but |
|
Scots will never die |
|
They live on in sons & daughters |
|
Scottish heart. |
|
Scottish pride |
|
Now there's |
|
Scottish all around the world |
|
And what better world their be |
|
Remember the ones who made our |
|
Scottish history |
