I Will Go
I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
To the land of McLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go

When the King’s son came along
He ca’ed us a’ together
Saying “Brave Highland men
Will ye fight for my faither?”
Iwill go, I will go

I’ve a buckle on my belt
A sword in my scabbard
A red coat on my back
And a shilling in my pocket
I will go, I will go

When they put us all on board
The lasses were singing
But the tears cam tae their eyes
When the bells started ringing
I will go, I will go

When we landed on the shore
And saw the foreign heather
We knew some would fall
And would stay there forever
I will go, I will go

When we came back to the glen
The winter was turning
Our goods lay in the snow
And our houses were burning
I will go, I will go.
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Were the outdated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.
