Dougie Maclean Scots Wha' Hae


Scots wha' ha'e wi' Wallace bled (who have with)
Scots wham Bruce has 'oftimes led (whom Bruce has
often)
Welcome tae yer gory bed
Or to victory




Now'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? (who)
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a slave? (who's so)
Let him turn and flee




Wha for Scotland's King and Law
Freedom's sword will strongly draw
Freeman stand or Freeman fa' (fall)
Let him follow me




By oppression's woes and pains
By our sons in servile chains
We will drain our dearest veins
But they shall be free.




Lay the proud usurper low
Tyrants fall in every foe
Liberty's in every blow
Let us do or die


A patriotic song of Scotland which served for a long
time
as an unofficial national anthem of the country,
written by
Robert Burns in 1793, in the form of a speech
given before battle.
