I Hae Naebody
Now
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Were the outdated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 ha'e naebody now, I ha'e naebody now
To meet me upon the green
Wi' light locks waving o'er her brow
And joy in her deep blue e'en
Wi' the raptured kiss and the happy smile
And the dance o' the lightsome fay
And the wee bit tale o' the news the while
That had happened when I was away

There's naebody kens, there's naebody kens
And O may they never prove
That sharpest degree o' agony
For the child o' their earthly love
To see a flower in its vernal hour
By slow degrees decay
Then, calmly aneath the hand o' death
Breathe its sweet soul away

O, dinna break, my poor auld heart
Nor at thy loss repine
For the unseen hand that threw the dart
Was sent frae her Father and thine
Yet I maun mourn, and I will mourn
Even till my latest day
For though my darling can never return
I can follow the sooner away
