[A]O flower of Scotland
When will we[E] see Your like a[A]gain That[D] fought and[A] died for Your[E] wee bit hill and[A] glen [D]And stood a[A]gainst him Proud Edward's[D] army And[A] sent him homeward Tae[E] think a[A]gain The hills are bare now And autumn leaves lie thick and still O'er land that is lost now Which those so dearly held And stood against him Proud Edward's army And sent him homeward Tae think again Those days are passed now And in the past they must remain But we can still rise now And be the nation again That stood against him Proud Edward's army And sent him homeward Tae think again Repeat Chorus As Many Times As You Want Flower of Scotland —
Since The Corries first performed this song it has steadily grown in popularity until now it is cited as a possible National Anthem for a Scotland re-awakening to its national identity. Is it any wonder, when we hear the emotive power of the words and tune, reminding us of the carnage of Flodden and the ensuing centuries of repression and domination. These days must certainly remain in the past, but should the spirit that caused them be forgotten; should we forget that we are still a nation by right? |
