Auld Lang Syne
A simple brief
thought on Scottish
Independance.

Were the outdated
union not of some very
high value to England and
the English, why would
they fight so to try to
keep it?

There are only so many
slices to a pie, for one to
have more, another must
have less.

Lastly - to those Scottish
"Loyalists" - to whom are
you loyal?
Scots royalty died in the
1700's so it can be no
Scots crown - And
certainly not it appears to
those who came before,
that bled for Scotland
and her freedom !  
In the words
of Burns, as he
wrote from the heart.

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victorie.

Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's power,
Chains and slaverie.

Wha would be a traitor-knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a Slave?
Let him turn and flie:

Wha for Scotland's king and law,
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Free-man stand, or free-man fa',
Let him follow me.

By Oppression's woes and pains!
By your Sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud Usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!
Let us Do - or Die!!
!

Choose your destiny.
Should Auld acquaintance be for-got and never brought
to mind
Should Auld acquaintance be for-got and days of Auld
Lang Syne
For Auld Lang-Syne my dear, For Auld Lang-Syne
We’ll tak a cup O' kindness yet for Auld Lang-Syne

1. We twa hae run about the braes, And pu'd the gowans
fine
But we've wander'd many a weary foot, Sin’ auld lang
syne

Chorus

2. We twa hae paidl’t in the burn, Frae morning sun till
dine
But seas between us braid hae roar’d, Sin auld lang syne

Chorus

3. And here’s a hand my trusty freen’, And gie's a hand
O’ thine
And we’ll tak a right gude willy waught, For auld lang
syne

Chorus

4. And surely ye'll be your pint stoup, As surely I’ll be
mine
And we'll tak a cup O’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne

Chorus
