Parcel O' Rogues
Parcel o' Rogues

Fareweel to a' oor Scottish fame
Fareweel oor ancient glory
Fareweel even tae oor Scottish name
Sae famed in martial story
Noo Sark runs o'er the Solway sands
Tweed runs tae the ocean
Tae mark where England's province stands
Sic a parcel o' rogues in a nation

What force or guile could not subdue
Through many war-like ages
Is rocked now by the coward few
For hireling traitor's wages
The English steel we could disdain
Secure in valour's station
But English gold has been oor bane
Sic a parcel o' rogues in a nation

O would or I had seen the day
That treason thus would sell us
My old grey heid had lain in clay
Wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace
But pith and power till my last hour
I'll mak' this declaration
We are bought and sold for English gold
Sic a parcel o' rogues in a nation
