Leis A Lurighan
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Were the outdated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?
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.
Leis a lurighan o'he
Leis a lurighan o'ho
In the grey dark of evening
O'er the waves let us go

On the ocean o'he waves in motion o'ho
Not but clouds could we see on the blue sea below
Islay looming o'he in the gloaming o'ho
Our ship's compass set we and our lights we did show

Aros passing o'he was harrassing o'ho
The proud billows to see high as masthead to flow
Captain hollers o'he to his fellows o'ho
Those that courage would flee let them go down below

In the tempest o'he waves were crashing o'ho
And the cry of the sea as the cold winds did blow
Captain hollers o'he to his fellows o'ho
Those that won't stand with me let them go down below
