I Hae Nae Kith
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Were the outdated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 hae nae kith, I hae nae kin, nor yin that's dear tae me
For the bonnie lad that I lo'e best is far across the sea
He's gane wi' yin that was our ain and may we rue the
day
When our king's daughter came her tae play sae foul
play

O gin I were a bonnie bird with wings that I might flee
Then I wid travel o'er the main my ain true love tae see
Then I wid tell a joyful tale tae yin that's dear tae me
And I'd sit upon a king's window and sing my melody

The adder lies in the corbie's nest aneath the corbie's
wame
For the blast that reives the corbie's brood shall blow
our good king hame
So blow ye east or blow ye west or blow ye o'er the
faem
Ay bring the lad that I lo'e best and yin I dare nae name
