Scots' Music
Misguided Missile And
Misguided Miss
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Were the outdated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.
While you wet your whistle, whistle I'll sing you this
O' the misguided missile and the misguided miss

The maid she was young and pretty, she came doon frae
the city
Was a hell of a pity that she left auld Glesga toon
She met a son of Uncle Sammy frae the heart of Alabamy
Who'd never left his mammy till he came doon tae Dunoon

In his wee bit sailor's suitie, och, he looked so brave and
smart
At the Battle of the Holy Loch he won a Purple Heart
Since he's been overseas, five medals and six stars
And for drinkin' your Johnnie Walker he's collecting extra
bars

He said he'd like to thank her for the moments on the
shore
Said his daddy was a banker, so she loved him more and
more
He really was a ranker by the rings upon his sleeve
She wanted rings on her finger, but he was just on leave

He was drinking Scotch and scooch, then he went back on
board
He turned the key - then whoosh! and cries, and Help ma,
Bob(?) Lord(?)
Says he, I'm so embarrassed, we'll no be goin' to Paris
I've launched the first Polaris through bein' a drunken sod

Now there's a hell of a fuss aboard the Proteus
And the lassie's on the shore by the point o' Lazarus
And she's cryin', Hush-a-bawbee, you'll see your daddy
soon
When the clouds all drift away, for he's the first Yank on
the moon
