Scots' Music
Greatest Thrill
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Were the outdated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.
When I heard the engines roar
Ma bonnie bairnie o
I felt a sense of power
Ma bonnie bairnie o
You were sleeping tight
When I flew into the night
I was looking for a fight
Ma bonnie bairnie o

I was flying high
Ma bonnie bairnie o
I never heard you cry
Ma bonnie bairnie o
I was using all my skill
To search, to find, to kill
It was my life's greatest thrill
Ma bonnie bairnie o

When the targets found their place
Ma bonnie bairnie o
I never saw your face
Ma bonnie bairnie o
But I began to pray
When the bombs they left their bay
Pity you got in the way
Ma bonnie bairnie o

Now I feel a sense of pride
Ma bonnie bairnie o
For God was on our side
Ma bonnie bairnie o
In my country's Hall of Fame
They'll be writing up my name
You're the loser in this game
Ma bonnie bairnie o

With the rising of the sun
Ma bonnie bairnie o
No more you'll laugh and run
Ma bonnie bairnie o
And you will never know
That your blood it had to flow
To let the winds of freedom blow
Ma bonnie bairnie o
