Will ye gang tae the heilans Leezie Lindsay
Will ye gang tae the heilans wae me
Will ye gang tae the heilans Leezie Lindsay
My bride and my darling tae be

Then I spoke tae Lizzie’s auld Mother
And a cantie auld buddy wis she
Man if I were as young as my daughter
I’d gang tae the heilans wae thee

Then I spoke tae Lizzie’s wee sister
And a bonny wee lassie wis she
Man if I were as auld as my sister
I’d gang tae the heilans wae thee

But tae gang tae the heilans wae you sir
That I canna well dae
For I ken no the lands that you come fae
And I ken no the lad I’d go wae

Weel Lizzie Aye you maun ken little
When I see you dinnae ken me
My name is Lord Ranald McDonald
I’m chief of the highest degree

So she’s kilted up her coat of green satin
Aye she’s kilted them up to her knees
And she’s off with Lord Ranald McDonald
His bride and his darling to be.
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Were the outdated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.
