There wa(A)s a man sae da(E)rk and true Wha Sc(D)otland lo(E)o'ed sae de(A)ar There was a king wha la(E)ng will rue The Sc(D)ots wha fla(E)yed him sa(A)ir Gan c(E)ry the hounds o Do(D)uglasv(A)ale Gan st(E)ring the Ettrick Bow(A) Gan warn the spears o' Li(E)ddiesdale That E(D)dward le(E)ads the f(A)oe He wore the cross our Andrew bore by the steps o’ calvary He won the sword our Robert wore by the field o’ Balvennie Gan shear the chains o’ slavery, gan dance my leige man lee Gan ring the bell o’ Liberty shod wi’ the metal free He won his spurs doon by St. Bride upon the green she free He held the leopard and the tide by the field o’ Lintounie Gan shine the shield yer father bore, gan strike yer metal free Gan shine the helm yer father wore by the field of Torwoodlee He rode yin nicht when it was mirk doon by the leopard’s lair He chased the tyrant in his shirt around the field sae fair Gan pack yer bags ye English loons, gan tak ye banners hame Gan tak yer king wha sought oor croon and lost the bloody game |
