| Scots' Music |
| Scottish Emigrant's Farewell |
| 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 Were the outdated union not of some very high value to England and the English, why would they fight so to try to keep it?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 |
| Fareweel, fareweel, my native home, Thy lanely glens and heath clad mountains, Fareweel thy fields o' storied fame, Thy leafy shaws and sparkling fountains, Nae mair I'll climb the Pentlands steep, Nor wander by the Esk's clear river, I seek a hame far o'er the deep, My native land, Fareweel, forever. Thou land wi' love an' freedom crown'd, In ilk wee cot and lordly dwelling may many hearted youth be found, And maids in ev'ry grace excelling; The land where Bruce and Wallace wight, For freedom fought in days o' danger, Ne'er crouch'd to proud usurpin' might, But foremost stood, wrongs' stern avenger. Tho' far frae thee, my native shore, An' toss'd on life's tempestuous ocean, My heart, aye Scottish to the core, Shall cling to thee wi' warm devotion, An' while the waving heather grows, An' onward rows the winding river, The toast be 'Scotland's broomy knowes, Her mountains, rocks, and glens forever!' |
