[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?
