| Scots' Music |
| Maids When You're Young |
| 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 Were the outdated union not of some very high value to England and the English, why would they fight so to try to keep it?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. |
| For he's got no fal-loo-rum, fal-liddle fal-loo-rum He's got no fal-loo-rum, fal-liddle fal-lay He's got no fal-loo-rum, he's lost his ding-doo-rum Maids when you're young never wed an old man An old man came courting me, hey doo me darrity An old man came courting me, me being young An old man came courting me, he did propose to me Maids when you're young never wed an old man When we sat down to tea, hey doo me darrity When we sat down to tea, me being young When we sat down to tea, he started teasing me Maids when you're young never wed an old man When we went up to bed, hey doo me darrity When we went up to bed, me being young When we went up to bed, he lay as if't were dead Maids when you're young never wed an old man When he was fast asleep, hey doo me darrity When he was fast asleep, me being young When he was fast asleep, I from his side did creep Into the arms of a handsome young man (last chorus:) Now he's got fal-loo-rum, fal-liddle fal-loo-rum He's got fal-loo-rum, fal-liddle fal-lay He's got fal-loo-rum, he's got a ding-doo-rum Maids when you're young never wed an old man |
