| Scots' Music |
| I Am A Miller |
| 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 Were the outdated union not of some very high value to England and the English, why would they fight so to try to keep it?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. |
| I am a miller tae my trade and that sae weel ye ken oh I am a miller tae my trade and that sae weel ye ken oh I am a miller tae my trade, and mony's the sack o' meal I've made And mony's the lassie I hae laid at the back o' the sacks o' meal oh It happened ae nicht in June when I was in my cell oh It happened ae nicht in June when I was in my cell oh It happened ae nicht in June, a lassie cam' trippin' doon the lane I thocht that I would just look in tae see if you're in yoursel' oh You're welcome here my bonnie lass, sae welcome here for aye oh You're welcome here my bonnie lass, sae welcome here for aye oh You're welcome here my bonnie lass, and what's the news that I maun hear Gin ye'll consent tae bide wi' me and bide wi' me for aye oh The larkin' lassie gie'd a smile, said she couldnae tell oh The larkin' lassie gie'd a smile, said she couldnae tell oh The larkin' lassie gie'd a smile, Young man ye'll hae tae wait awhile When you hear the mill a-clatterin' in ye'll hae me tae yoursel' oh I kissed her lips as sweet as honey, sweet as honey-dew oh I kissed her lips as sweet as honey, sweet as honey-dew oh I kissed her lips as sweet as honey, until a tear cam' in her e'e I'd leave my mammy a' for thee and be your ain for aye oh As merrily as the wheel goes round the rate sae weel ye ken oh As merrily as the wheel goes round the rate sae weel ye ken oh As merrily as the wheel goes round with grinding peas and corn oh A better job was never foond since ever I was born oh |
